Note to Teachers Everywhere

When you call a parent on their cell phone in the middle of the day, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start the call with "everything is fine" or some other disclaimer. Otherwise I will be on edge and waiting for you to say my little precious has lice, has thrown up, has a fever, broke her arm, or some other calamity, and I will ignore everything else you say waiting to hear that.

Thank you.

Jeez. No kidding. one day my husband was late getting home, he had stopped by our construction site to do something, and I said where are you (on the phone) and he said at the Hospital. I immediately freaked out and said are you okay etc. etc. it took him a while to realize his mistake, he meant BY the hospital, not AT the hospital..
