I'm heading over to the Aisle of Sclerosis today. Wish us all luck. Because if I get annoyed, it is obvious that will turn my annoyance on you, poor innocent readers.
This morning, as I drove the kids to school, we saw a police car on the street, adjacent to the parking lot, with it's lights flashing and some kid standing in front of it.
It's a busy street. And right across from the high school is a gas station/convenience store and Burger King. You just know kids are constantly flying back and forth, across the busy street between school and junk food.
The police decided to do something about it so made some poor kid an example to the ENTIRE school that would be walking and driving and riding by in buses.
It took me about 5 minutes to make the drop off circuit and that poor kid was still standing outside, in the cold, while the police officer wrote a ticket. Very slowly.
Heh. I don't know how that police officer is going to get out of the squad car, in front of all those witnesses and keep a straight face while handing the kid a ticket.
I helped some school kids break the rules yesterday. Go me! The art teacher at the high near the Frame Shop was sending kids down to get stuff mounted and matted. It was snowing out and these kids were walking about half a mile from school. I felt terrible for them so was driving them back to school when they finished. Two girls asked me to drop them off at McDonald's, inbetween the frame shop and school, but I wouldn't because their high school has a closed campus for lunch and I didn't want to be responsible if anything happened.
Instead, we drove through the drive-thru and picked them up something before I dropped them off.
I'm a rebel in a mini-van.
One more high school story. Apparently some idiot brought a pellet gun to the boy's high school yesterday afternoon so they had a lockdown. Locked the classroom doors, turned off the lights and sat in the back of the classroom, quietly.
Stupid kid. Rumor has it, he got arrested. My kids thought that was too harsh. I thought it was appropriate. It's not like the kid didn't know you can't bring guns to school. Even if they're just pellet guns. We've all seen A Christmas Story. Kid'll lose an eye!
Time to fly. Hair appointment this morning. I'm going back to my natural dark hair, while I still have the opportunity. Photos if I feel like it. You know how I am.
