Seth really never knew how much he hated school until his sister got to stay home.
Now it’s nothin’ but attitude as we send him off in the morning.
The outright glares he gives me.
Nobody knows the trouble he’s seen. Nobody knows his sorrow.
Not for a million dollars would he crack a smile.
When we got to school today, the kids were lined up outside. I turned my back on him for one second to intervene with a couple of wild second grade boys who were pushing and shoving each other, about to cross the threshold between kidding and mad. I made them hug it out. Well, I made a joke about them hugging it out and they wound up laughing. Anyhoo..when I turned around, Seth’s line had already moved and he’d been sucked into the school vortex…without saying good bye.
If that little stink bomb thought that was going to fly, he had another thing coming. I marched into the school, found him in the hallway taking off his boots, head tipped back in a broad smile, laughing with his buddies.
Until he saw me.
Then it was back to this.
I hugged him hard, told him to have a great day, and chuckled all the way home.
ha! looks like someone has an acting career ahead of him. and when he says, ‘i’d like to thank my mom’ you’ll know he means it.
little stinker!!! LOL
What a mug on him!
Is he angling to be homeschooled too? (He understands that Riley is actually doing work, not just chillin’ with you and Jingle, right?)
Definitely a future Academy Award nominee.
Even with attitude, that’s one VERY cute boy.
It’s WRONG how cute that boy is. WRONG. He will use that to his advantage at every opportunity – but you already know that.
LOVE him.
love you.
xo
*SNORT!!!* Caught!
🙂
Ability to hold a grudge no matter what? I recognize that from my own youth. He will be tenacious and persistent. Course that helps you none right now. 😉
You are one mean Mom, how embarassing. (You know i’m just kidding) keep up the good work, miss cuter than anything in your red hat.
Definitely a future thespian!
I predict you’re home schooling them both by this time next year. Just sayin’.
Love,
Better You Than Me
I agree with Carrie.
Yes, he is way too cute with the pouty face!
Too funny! That lip! So cute.
Aww, of course he wants to be home with you guys. Gotta give him points for trying 🙂
