It was a dark and stormy morning, the school bus screeched to halt, slowly the door opened…

Yes, off they went this morning.  We were all happy to see Kay, our morning bus driver, back.  Of course, I drove to school anyway, not for R’s or P’s sake, just for my own peace of mind.  Peanut marched into his class, found his seat, chatted quite a bit with his teacher, ignored me completely.

R hung out in the hall with her hoodlum buddies until the last possible moment.  I asked if they were going to ditch and go to the mall for coffee.  They didn’t know what "ditch" meant.

Perfect.
