Day 24 - The Trip To School

Only two stories to report today.

The first:

Luckily, I got off to a good start this morning by showering. I followed this up by dressing semi-decently but not shaving...just because I can get away with that.

Although I love Garrett's music as much as, well, Garrett sometimes I can't do it...so this morning I did the old "I can't find it folks...sorry" and played the mix CD I made myself yesterday...They dealt with it...However, I now know Ethan does not care for an electronic drum beat nearly as much as he likes the sound of real drums...

So once we get to school everyone is pretty reserved including yours truly.

As I'm getting the kids out of the car I notice a friendly looking woman approaching us with that "eff it I'm going to say something" look on her face...

"Victor? Hi...I'm Casey - I'm Ethan & Owen's teacher..."

At this point my mind starts racing about what this could entail...Did the kids do something crazy at school? Did someone hit a kid yesterday?

Then I remember they didn't even go to school yesterday...so instead of being defensive and getting Eddie Murphy "Raw" on her, I become curious and let her finish her sentence...

"...I just wanted to let you know I really like the blog."

Appppppparently, the CFO sent it to the school...Thankfully, I've never said anything bad about the school. Casey even had a favorite part of the blog...

So that was really nice of her. Thanks Casey! Now don't go beating the boys at school! Just kidding, she seemed like a time-out kind of disciplinarian.

For the record: I hope the CFO never sends this to the kids doctor...because I've had some choice words for that guy...

And the second story:

Driving home alone with Summer, she barely waits for us to hit the main road before she asks if she and I can go somewhere...

I laugh.

She follows that up with this gem:

"And and Bictor...if you hab any money you can buy sometin"

In the age old "Nature v. Nurture Battle" I used to be a Nurture guy...I'm starting to become a Nature guy simply because Summer is a classic lady.

I tell her we'll see...too bad Blockbuster is closed. We end up at 7-11 where she gets an Oreo cakester...which looked disgusting. Then again, I bought a Supreme Omelet Taquito so who am I to judge?

As we head to the house, I'm still pushing the mix CD...On it is a Kanye West song called "RoboCop" and at the 2:52 mark it breaks down into strings and Kanye sings:

"You spoiled little L.A. girl...you're just an L.A. girl"

This apparently didn't sound like that to Summer who makes the following comment:

"Bictor, he said 'little lego girl' - dats silly"

Sadly, she has no idea how silly Kanye West really is...
