Tardy Twice?
Yesterday morning, I received a call from school saying Anakai was late for class. Hmmm... I only received one call, and no call for Kacia. Anakai had a tardy call once prior. I wonder what is going on?
I picked up the twinkies from school, as usual. On the way home, I asked them my typical set of inquiries about their day at school, "What did you learn today? Did you finish your lunch?" They answered enthusiastically. Then I got more specific, "Anakai sweetheart. Were you late for class this morning?"
"No. I was not late. I went to my class." Anakai replied.
"Did you go the wrong way, like last time?"
"No Mama. I did not got the wrong way. I went the right way."
"Did you go to the wrong classroom?"
"No Mama. I went to the right classroom. I'm in Ms. Pomerantz's class."
Hmmm... strange. Then Kacia began to say something, "I have a new job in my class. I am a messenger! I am a messenger with Alejandro." How sweet,
"What do you have to do to be a messenger, Kacia?"
"We have to carry an envelope to the office, or another classroom."
"You do?!" I say in my ever adoring mama voice.
Then Anakai begins to talk to herself... I go to this hallway and I look in this corner room. No, that's not my class. Then I walk to another hallway and I look in this corner and.... no, that's not my class either. Then I walk to the other corner, then I look, and this one is my classroom!
Ah-ha!!! It sounds like Anakai wanders around the school before going to her classroom. I ask her, "Anakai, what is your classroom number?" She doesn't know the answer. Kacia blurts, "My classroom is 10-105!"
"Anakai, is your classroom also 10-105?"
"No! I am not in Kacia's class. I am in Ms. Pomerantz's class!"
"That's right Anakai. Your classroom is 10-101."
I have her repeat it back to me.
The next morning on the way to school, I asked her again, "Anakai, what is your classroom number?" She is correct, but I'm not convinced. (This is the part where I come up with a brilliant mama idea!)
"Kacia, I have a job for you." She's enthusiastic about being appointed a task.
"What's my new job, Mama?"
"You can be mama's messenger this morning. Can you walk your sister to her classroom first, before you go to your classroom?
"Yes I can! Anakai is in Ms. Pomerantz class. That is room 10-101. Then I will go to my class after."
"Perfect."
The End. Hopefully....
