*conversation from last night*
Kid-We have to be at school kind of early tomorrow.
Me-What’s “kind of early?”
Kid-7am
Me-WHAT? Why?
Kid-Because the buses leave at 7:15am.
Me-What bus?
Kid-For my field trip mom.
Me-What field trip?
Kid-*sigh* You know, the 4th grade field trip? The one you paid for? 3 months ago?
Me-Is it on the calendar?
Kid-Yes.
Me-Hmmm. *looking at calendar and realizing I haven’t changed it since Feb 1998* Ok. But why so early? Why can’t it be an afternoon trip?
Kid-*geesh* I don’t know. Are you going to take me or should I hitchhike?
Me-Very funny. I’ll take you.
Kid-Can you get up that early?
Me-Yes.
Kid-Can you get up that early and get dressed?
Me-Jeebus. I have to get dressed to?
Kid-I’ll set all the alarms, your phone, and have Gamma and Dad call and wake you up.
Me-Your good peoples kiddo. :)
