"I Guess So."
Friday night I was at a phone store with a friend when a kid said hi to me. I sort of recognized the kid and was sure that he didn't go to the school anymore. So I said, "Hi, how are you? I haven't seen you in a while. What school are you going to now?" He replied, "Whittier." "Oh wow," I said, "I guess you've been keeping out of trouble and I must be totally out of it." His dad said, "I guess so," referring to the totally out of it part of the statement. Probably one of the most embarrassing moments I've had in a while. Two things I need to do now: when a kid says hi to me just smile and say hi, no small talk; and don't shop anywhere within 50 miles of the school. Luckily, the rest of my weekend was awesome.

Hee hee hee, the same thing happened to me a few weeks back with a fifth grader...he was standing outside room 70 and said something to me and I said, WOW--you are so tall now. How are you? Where do you go to school now? He's looks at me and says, "um, I am here, I am in Mr. M's class" Oops!! Although, in my defense, HE WAS OUT OF UNIFORM (oh the horror!) He had on khaki pants, which to me SCREAMS OUT Middle Schooler!!! Anyway...I was embarrassed, but only one person was around to witness and this and the kid most likely won't remember that I forgot he was still here... "wink wink"....he's that sort of kid!
