Farmer-Sea
This is the story Dylan told me after school today. "Today we didn't have PE so I was playing catch with Bailey and one time when I threw the ball to her, I threw it over her head and it hit the picture of Amelia Earhart." (That is the name of their school.) "And a little before that our teacher from S.L.C., he was in there." (student learning community, where they learn from community members about different jobs and things outside of conventional learning. This week it was poison control.) "He is Miss Aurich's boyfriend, they are going to get married. And guess what? He is a farmer that wears a tie. And he doesn't even have a real farm. He was telling us all about poison." (At this point in the story, I began to question.) "He is a farmer who wears a tie and doesn't even work on a farm?", I asked. "Yep. He said it's called a farmer-sea." I love my child. I told him so and gave him a big hug! That is right up there with the dim-holes on his face!

Happy Moth's Day
Dylan clearly has opinions about me. I found this in his backpack today. It is a keeper and says it all.
Lauren
Today, in the Macey's parking lot, someone lost a rose and Lauren ended up with it. She carried it through the store for an hour, at the end of which it had lost most of it's stem and looked a little worse for wear. On the way home, she said, "Mom, can we start stopping at houses to see who lost this flower?" "No," I replied, "there are way too many houses in Provo and we can't stop at all of them." "Just a few?" "No. What if you take it to Sister Douglas (former nursery teacher)?" She thought about this for a minute or two. "Okay," she replied, "but you'll have to drive me there because my legs are tired." Sister Douglas lives across the street and over two houses. "Not EVEN happening." "FINE! I'll just have to ride my bike. HUH!" She was clearly as disgusted with me as I was with her. Seriously? I thought that settled that, but when we got home and I pulled into the driveway she said, " You were supposed to drive me to Sister Douglas' house!" Grrrrrrr.
