Friday is show and tell for The Boy.

 

I should know that by now.

 

Every week they study a different letter and on Friday they bring in something that starts with it.

 

But I didn’t go through the school papers yesterday.

 

And this morning it totally slipped my mind—

 

Perhaps I was distracted by the fact that Farrah got sick all over the apartment last night and Kipp and I were rolling up our living room rug this morning and taking it to the trash room—lots of fun.

 

I was reminded of show and tell when I dropped The Boy off at school and the other kids were talking about what they brought.

 

The Boy looked at me with eyes that said “MOM!!!!!!!”

 

I remembered from earlier in the week that this week’s letter was F.

 

“Good thing your last name is Fawcett.  You brought yourself!” I said with a huge smile.

 

And his face lit up.

 

He loved it….

 

“Hey guys….I’m a Fawcett. I brought myself to show and tell.”

 

All his friends started laughing.

 

Crisis averted.

 

I really need to get some sleep.

 

Love much,

xob
