Tardy Slip?
Maggie started school this year, she goes to VPK, which is voluntary pre kindegarten. The kids do a lot of things that prepare them for real school next year. Recentely the school has been reminding the parents that school starts promptly at 8:30am. That is fine because I usually get there on time.
This week they really started getting serious with this new rule. Dale had gone away this week and the first day he was gone, I was late to school! The funny thing is, he never helps me get them ready to go to schooll because he is at work. The latest you can be there is 8:35am, I showed up at 8:36am!
I walk into the class like nothing is wrong and the teacher looks at me in frnt of the whole class and says, "Can you get a tardy slip from the office please!" I felt like I had just committed a crime. I was standing in frontt of a class of 4 years olds and they were all looking at me like shame on you! I felt so weird like they were all judging me! I was one minute late for crying out loud, can you cut me some slack on the first day of the new policy! It is not like they are going to Yale or Harvard!!
I slinked out of the class with my tail between my legs and went to the office to get a tardy slip. I was just shocked that these people still work off of the honesty policy! What will happen if I am late everyday and I only claim 2 tardy slips? Just saying
Anyway, the lady who handed it to me is the head of the program and I said, "Can I have a tardy slip?" She said, "It is 8:36!?!?" I said,"Yeah I am late!" She handed me the slip and said here, sorry
I felt like saying I am sorry also, this is bullshit, a tardy slip for being one minute over the time! Give me a break!! I pulled myself together and took it like a champ! I snatched the slip out of her hand and said all kinds of things under my breath so no one could hear me, but it made me feel better about the ridiculous situation!
I love talking under my breath just low enough for no one to hear me but loud enough so I can! That is the best feeling, like you got a secret jab in the fight! I always have to have the last word whether it is aloud or under my breath!!!
I wonder if I am going to collect tardy slips like some people collect unpaid parking tickets?

One minute in preschool and it's a flagrant violation? Absurd.
