Not up for debate, just me poking fun…

by

Ok, so I haven’t forced you guys to endure any tales from kindergarten in a long time so I figure now is as good of a time as any.  We are nearing graduation, we are nearing the end of the year and there are a lot of things going on.  First there is graduation, there’s Dibels and a trip to a campground that is suppose to be capping off their study of butterflys and insects and stuff. 

Now, with that, there is also the dreaded field trip saga’s.  I mean, you all remember the Alabama Ballet that was canceled I assume because not enough parents were willing to let their children go if they couldn’t go and well….yea, so you already know my thoughts on that.

So, then we were told they were going to Tupelo Mississippi to the Zoo.  Ok, money is paid for the trip and it was scheduled for several weeks ago.  Then there was bad weather predicted for that day so they didn’t go and indeed, school was let out early because of the weather.  My son didn’t go to school that day because he had run a fever the night before but they still called me to tell me that I needed to pick him up because of the weather.  So, the fact that they didn’t even know he was there should have concerned me a little, right?

Anyway, the trip was scheduled for next Friday.  Great, Wayne and I are planning to be out of town and my mom was going to take Jace on to daycare and then go to the zoo with Walker.  Planned was good and I was pleased.

Today, another note from school.  And honestly, they wouldn’t need so much doggone paper if they wouldn’t send a tree worth of notes home each week.  Guess what, they can’t go to the Tupelo Zoo because….get this….it is out of Alabama.  Now, am I the only one that thinks this might be a bit suspect?  Did they not know it was not in Alabama when they scheduled this?  And if they didn’t know, do they really need to be trying to educate my child?  I know, I am being ridiculous here but come on, what is really going on around here.

So, guess where they are going?

You are not going to believe this and it just has to be it’s own post because this is hysterical.
