Back to School Picnic
Tonight we had our PTA Back to School Picnic. I must admit, I was tired and DIDN'T want to go. I came home and walked Jay, and sat down to eat, and then thought, "I promised the kids I would go." So, I went.
I find that whenever I feel that I don't want to go to something, I'm always glad afterward that I went. Tonight that was true.
I was standing with some teachers and Opponentboy's Mom came up and introduced herself. She went on to say that her son LOVES my class. I smiled and told her I love her son as well. She went on to say that her son NEVER talks about school and the past several days he won't stop talking about my class. While I've had parents tell me this before, it was a highlight of my day because it was my first one to say it here. And, it helps that the family is split, half KU fans and half MU fans. So, when our deal comes up about us wearing the opponent's team shirt if our team loses, and HE HAS TO WEAR KU, he's covered! :-) His Mom laughed about it all and said that on Tuesday he came home from school, went straight to his closet, pulled out the MU shirt, and said he had to wear it because his new teacher is a KU fan!
I.
Love.
It.
Life.
Is.
Good.
