My kids’ school was desperate, so I was asked to substitute teach high school.
But under the long skirt…
The first class was physics. My mom, not a science/math person, suggested I text her if I had questions. She’s hilarious.

I paused mid-hairbrush and smiled.
They’re back, baby!
Later, I discovered two on my forearm.

“‘Ride on a float,’ she said. ‘It’ll be fun,’ she said.”
- What movie quote am I adapting for my own purposes?

Beloved Neighbor’s grandfather-in-law was a firefighter. His decommissioned 1952 fire truck has become a staple in our town’s annual Christmas parade.
Neighbor’s three sons were each able to choose one friend to join them on the float. Their youngest invited my Joe.

Hopefully I’ll get there while there are still some tables (within throwing distance). Don’t want to miss you……….. with a snowball of course.
And he really did get me a gift. I was surprised and impressed.
