First Day of School Funnies

Ahhhh, the long-awaited first day of school has come and gone.  Yes, I'm a few weeks late, but fortunately my memory serves me well (for now, at least).

Here are a few things that made me chuckle:

On the night before school started Eliza kept begging to go to sleep so she could wake up and wear her new school outfit.

While we were walking to school Davis looked at me and said, "Mom, I am really embarassed."  "Embarrassed?" I questioned him.  "Yeah."  "Davis, I actually think you might be nervous or excited for school, probably not embarrassed."

When I arrived home, there was already a message on the machine from Eliza.  She was calling to tell me that she did not bring a check to school for her lunches.  She was worried she might not be able to eat.  She did not know that we had a credit on her account from last year.  I called the school back and left a message that she didn't need to worry, her lunch was paid for.  Then I got another call an hour later with a worried girl on the line. . . . .She needed to hear it from my lips that she would not be denied lunch. What would it feel like to be so responsible at age 7?

Roger is using his free time to wheel and deal with his mom in order to get her to play Super Mario Brothers with him. . . . . .(though it looks like from this picture he should be talking her into a hair brush).
