The Phone Rings . . .

. . . and the school number pops up and it is not one of the daily annoying robo calls reminding me that it is early dismissal day or they are selling 500 calorie, $3.00 ice cream bars after school in the rain - no it is the principal - loud and clear - not on a recording asking for MRS. DAVIDSON!  Now the kids had been home for about an hour and neither had confessed to any wrongdoing at school so I did respond softly and hesitantly with "This is she."  Fortunately, the principal quickly assured me that nothing was wrong and I could resume breathing.  So here's how it went . . .

Justin has been nominated by his teacher of 4 days to speak at the school board meeting on September 28th.  He needs to write an essay on they joys of being a student at his school for the past 2+ years and and then deliver that in a speech to the school board, oh and by the way Mrs. Davidson you and your husband MAY attend the meeting.  Are you nuts (I'm thinking) we will have his whole fan club there!!!!!
Of course, I say, we will clear our busy schedule (dinner, bedtime, etc.) and Justin will be happy to spend the next 20 days writing the perfect speech and delivering it to the school board and anyone else who just happens to be there.  And is there anything else my perfect children can do for you Mrs. Principal???? Just let us know . . .
Another proud mama moment  . . .
