They were in fine form today. It was parents' day, so the parents could come, and sit in on a class, to see how their children were coming along. It's a stressful day for the teachers, but we made it through OK. Before the parents came, I briefed my kids on how to behave properly during the open class. I told them to sit properly, raise their hands, and wait to be called on.
James piped up, "Or else mommy will take you to bathroom, pok pok pok!" (he mimed a spanking motion with his hand.)
I said, "I hope your mommy won't take you to the bathroom and spank you, but I also hope you're very good boys and girls today!"
Then Willy said, "But mommy is a girl. I'm a boy!"
So I rubbed it in: "Yes, Willy! Maybe your mommy will take you into the girls' bathroom!" All the boys shrieked, thinking, "wow, that would be doubly embarrassing!"
One of my girls, Arooh, smiled smugly, "I'm a girl that's OK. I can girls bathroom going that's OK."
To which Willy promptly replied, "Your daddy will come."
Wiped the smug smile off her face like lightning, and made me laugh out loud.

Cute! I like the new blog format. Now keep those posts (short &) frequent; or else "pok, pok, pok" for you!

Sorry about previous posts' length. This part is kind of an archive of the old e-mails I sent to all my special people in my first three years. Now that I'm up to date, I can be short and frequent.
Thanks for stopping by.
