The 45 minute bus ride only to seek the same items from your front yard. Haha

I’m guessing those kids think you’re cooler than you know. 😉

Can we be friends? I’m not even kidding. You are me. I am you. This was effing great.

Andrea-- you are effing great. Which I guess means I am also effing great? Yes, we can be friends. But we cannot be chaperones together because surely the police would be called and this would be a formative memory for 63 nine-year-olds for many, many years to come.

Ha! Oh, nobody will ever ask me to chaperone again. I’m barely allowed at the Board of Ed meetings anymore. Sometimes my mouth goes rogue.

Offering up the baby picture was a huge unforced error. Hilarious though. I'm guessing this particular teacher did not invite you back to future trips....

It was strange. Every time a field trip was brought up in my presence it was followed by, WE HAVE ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS THANK YOU!

I can't tell you how happy it made me to see you used the name Radar. I made some kind of weird laugh-screech that I didn't even recognize as human. This was SO incredibly good, bestie! I think it's one of your best, and that's saying something considering your catalog has a lot of greats! Also, thank you so much for the shoutout!

Dammit, I meant to single this out:

"What could have been communicated with a voice, was manifested as three 8.5 x 11 sheets stapled together. And speaking of three sheets, anyone have a little nip in their backpack?"

Brilliant!

I mean, lesson learned! I know always have a little something tucked in my backpack when I head out to school! Wait, is this why I haven’t been asked back? Radar 4-ever!
