Minor Episode

Well, we're coming to the end of our second week. I'm trying to decide if my kiddos have come along two weeks worth or if I'm already behind. I think I'm too tired to figure it out right now. I have a lot of stories already, but I only have time for one. Last week, I sent my first child down to the office one morning (with a friend) because she was overly tardy and this is our procedure in such cases. The girls returned seemingly without incident, official paper in hand. During lunch, the office assistant came in to tell me that the two had come into the office asking about a "heart attack." We had one staff member fall victim to stroke while at school, so the assistant was understandably alarmed and continued to ask for details as she followed the girls back to my class. About half-way down the main hall, she discovered that one of the girls had come to school late and that I had sent them to the office for a paper - a tardy pass.
