A colleague brought her fifth grade daughter to school for our teacher work day this morning. (That's right-- after six snow days in a row, we had our previously scheduled grade preparation day today. Don't be a hater.)
I have known this little girl all her life, but today we had a more wonderful time than usual, chatting at lunch about books, and the blizzard, and her classmates who would be coming to our school next year.
We had just finished a hilarious round of I'm going on a picnic when her mom finally stood up. "C'mon," she said. "I have work to do next door."
"But I want to stay here!" her daughter replied.
"Oh don't worry!" I laughed, "we can spend lots of time together next year!"
Hmmm.
I guess I did miss those kids after all.
Thank goodness they'll be back tomorrow.
