Santa's Spy

I subbed for the afternoon today. When I arrived the teacher gave me the plans for the day. She also told me that she'd told the students to be good, or the sub would write her a note and she'd forward it to Santa. So don't be on the subs naughty list or you'll be on Santa's naughty list too! The kids wanted to inform me of this right away too (well, the good ones at least.) However, I didn't really learn any of their names (I only had them for about an hour and a half), so there wasn't a naughty list. They weren't all angels, but I supposed no behavior was coal-worthy.

At the end of the day I had to do bus duty in the gym, supervising loads of kids who were waiting for the bus. This is a loud job. Especially when about 10 or so kids have whipped out their recorders and are practicing "Hot Cross Buns" and "Jingle Bells" at varying times, tempos, and skill-levels. Yikes! Throw in a lone clarinet and violin and you've got a symphony to dull your senses. I was thankful when the last bus arrived!

I feel your pain having listened to rooms full of recorders in my day. Nothing like a chorus of "Hot Cross Buns" to make you want to scream. I'm glad you didn't have to report anyone to Santa.
Love you!!! MOM
