I Just Need to Make a Call

Was starting to think I was going to have the day off today when I got called at around 8. The start time was 8:30 and it takes me about 30 minutes to get to the school! So I got ready fast. Thankfully, I got lucky with the lights and made it there early!

The class was 2nd grade, and they were SOOOO much better than yesterday. Very busy, but sweet.

About a hour into the day one girl comes up to me and asks if she can make a call. I ask her why and she says she need to call her dad. I ask her why again and she says something about needing to tell him when she goes to recess. Again, I ask, why? She explains that if he calls when they're at recess then she won't be here and he might be worried. I told her that if her dad needed to talk to her, the office would take a message. She said he might be worried because he wouldn't know where she was. I assured her that the office would tell him, and he'd know she was at school, so she was fine. This did not satisfy her, I could tell, but she also realized that I was not going to change my mind, so she let it go.

I was afraid she was going to be mad at me the rest of the day and be a little stinker, but she wasn't. In fact, at the end of the day she asked me if I'd be here tomorrow and when I told her no, she said, "Awww....I wish you were! I wanted to spend some more time with you!" Kids are funny. :)
