field trip day

Posted on March 4, 2009 by thirdstoryies

Saturday, while we cleaned and painted and rearranged for the photo shoot, E played in the back bedroom with her favorite cars. It was “field trip day” and the chaperones were lined up outside ready to go. I’m not kidding – she spent forty-five minutes in deep debates between all the plastic people as to how the various groups were going to divvy up the seats. I think everyone had a different voice and name as well… and they weren’t as simple as Miss Scarlet or Professor Plum. (The purple guy off to the side was quite literally throwing a tantrum in protest.) I’m not sure if they actually made it to their destination or not. The entire drama seemed to revolve around the carpooling. It was intense. I hope she doesn’t grow up to be a homeroom coordinator. The other parents will strangle her.

Update: Apparently the day went from difficult to really, really unfortunate. Later I walked in and found the school transportation looking like this. Maybe next time they’ll just take the city bus.

    Hmmm…do I sense a future transportation planner in our midst? Throw in some City Bikes and it might just blow her mind! LOVE IT!
    Your planner friend,

    p.s. If she starts talking about slugs, she’s not referring to our friendly mollusks out in the garden. I’m keeping an eye on her…
