The title says it all. All kids forget things from time to time, but Mallory has had a particularly bad week. The list of forgotten items is growing quite lengthy. She has forgotten her glasses twice, her retainers twice, her shoes (yes, she actually walked to the car barefoot without noticing!), and today her backpack and jacket for school were left in my car.
I gave the whole list so that you would understand the depth of my frustration. That way you might not judge me so harshly for what I did today.....
During my planning time, I ran out and jumped in the car to drive to Mallory's school to deliver the forgotten items. Many of you parents feel my pain I am sure. Upon arrival at the school, I went to the office to deliver Mal's stuff. The secretary gave me my oppurtunity....she asked me to deliver the stuff to Mallory's classroom. That is when my diabolical plan, called Embarrass Mallory, hatched. I showed up in Mallory's classroom doorway and called out, "MMMMaaallloorrrry!" in a singsong voice. Then I spotted her in her seat, went over, handed her her backpack and draped her jacket over her chair. I patted her on the back and sang out, "Goodbye!" Mal's teacher, Mrs. White said, " Tell your mom thank you." Mallory muttered, "No." And I said, "You are lucky I didn't kiss you with lipstick on!"
So judge me if you must, but I am hoping Mallory won't be forgetting things as much in the future!
