Back To School Part II
I must admit I didn't get any pictures of Sparky on his first day at Senior School. I had to fight with Clive again to get him dressed and so was running late. I will try to remember for tomorrow.
However he did seem to like his first day back. He was so wrapped up in telling me how he changed his mind about meeting me at work and instead hang with his mates before catching the bus and walking home I had to ask him 3 times how his first day was.
"Oh yeah... it was cool. It was good." Then he told me he was a chairboy.
Huh? What the hell is a chairboy? I thought maybe it was like "chairman" and he was in charge of a group or something. Uh, no... turns out a chairboy is someone who sets up the hall for assemblies. Arranges the chairs...
Right.
He seemed quite happy with this development, and who am I to question my son's happiness? So I went with it. I needed some good news what with my own day circling the Great Toilet Drain of Life. One patient having a reaction to treatment is bad enough, but two on the same day? And one 10 minutes before I was due to walk out the door? Unfair!
But back to Sparky... He seems happy so far, but I suppose he'll need another week to have all of his classes and know for certain. Or the wind will change and he'll be all sulky; he is a teenage boy after all.
I will post pictures for Photo Friday, or may the Flying Spaghetti Monster reach down with his Noodley Appendage and punish me.
3 Witty Remarks:
I could never be a nurse because things like that would put me in tears. I cry watching the news on occasion, so forget seeing it in real life.
I'm sure Sparky will adjust fine to his new status. He is a great kid.
I guess the FSM will be looking for you. I don't see any photos!!
I haven't got one with all three in their uniforms either. I must get one as I now have two high schoolers.
Hope Sparky enjoys putting out the chairs! Mine complain that no chairs are put out for their assemblies and they have to sit on the floor. Perhaps a new role needs to be established at their high school?! Something for the Student Advisory Committee to look into! Will it be listed as an extra role on his report card?!
Holy crap... Sparky in high school?! I remember when he was just a little squirt. Have I known you that long?
