Open House

Monday is not an extraordinarily busy day for us. Unless you add something to the evening. Like Open House. Tabitha's Open House was tonight. She was so excited to come home so she could tell me, "Here is my schedule. You're supposed to go to school tonight and go to all my classes. I'm not supposed to go with you. You get 5 minutes to get to each one of my classes." Giggling the whole time she's talking.

Well, as you would expect, I had a comment about this. "First of all, if you're not going to Open House, I'm not going to Open House." (Not so much giggling now.) Secondly, I'm not playing some stupid game with your teachers trying to get from one class to the next. Do they think I didn't go to high school? Do they think it's funny to send parents to a school they don't know, on their own, and give them 5 minutes to get from place to place?"

Tabitha's reply, "Yep!" (Unusually big smile.)

Well, the students received a tour of the school before it started. Each one got to walk their schedule, and they have 7 minutes to get from one class to the next. But they want to play games with the parents. I'm not amused.

So the whole family went.
