Don’t tell me to calm down!

I have no idea what I why I was so excited for my kids to go back to school. All this really means to me is making lunch every hectic morning and doing homework for grades I completed thirty some years before.

For those of you who don’t have kids in school anymore – Yay for you! Congratulations! You lived.

It’s not like when we were in school. Now there is all this texting and teacher blogs to follow. There are even apps for your smart phone that push notifications and reminders.

So Sassy has questions about a Writing assignment due tomorrow. She decides she’s going to use MY phone to text her teacher – as me.

Here is the text sent from my hi-jacked phone.

Behold.

Do you see the problem? Do you see why I flipped out?

You know my kid has told her teacher that I’m a writer, and now that woman thinks I can’t use the proper there/their/they’re.

Or punctuation.

Or a complete and understandable sentence.

This kid of mine has no one to blame but herself when I go to the Open House tomorrow and make a HUGE deal out of the fact that I DID NOT WRITE THAT TEXT!!!
