Kids love “adventures” of this sort – especially the attention it brings. Middle kid rode her bike barefoot (yeah, I know. . .) and managed to scrape half the skin off one foot when she, um, applied the brakes. When the ER doc finished patching her up, she held out her foot and smiled. “I’ll be the star of the third grade.”
In wintertime Ohio, when it’s time to go home and load the busses, it takes at least a half hour to get a classroom of 28 first graders zipped up into their coats and boots. People who don’t work in schools have no idea about all this behind the scene stuff.

Calvin is all for anything that makes him the center of attention… and also helps him avoid schoolwork.

What a saga. It would make a great diary entry. Maybe even a scene in a movie.

How do kids become human pretzels so easily? It’s even worse when they get entangled and start yelling for me to help them.
