OK, so the phone just rang, it was a lady from Cabot School district asking for my daughters mom... that would be me.
yes, she says, I have a man here saying he's Alyssa's boyfriend and he wants to bring her lunch...
I start laughing and saying, OK?
The lady says, well he's not on the emergency list and is not supposed to bring her lunch....
Pause here for a second....
Alyssa's boyfriend is a Senior at the school, or was until Friday when the graduation took place.
He's bringing her a subway sandwich or what ever it could be, not a cake with a hidden file in it..
She is almost 18 and does not need my permission to buy what ever she'd like from the school cafeteria or else where for lunch.
What is wrong with the school?
OK, back to the phone conversation.
I tell the lady while still smiling in disbelief that it's fine for him to give her lunch, and the lady says with a great portion of sourness to her voice that I need to come in and put his name on the emergency list asap.....
Sometimes you don't know if it's best to cry or laugh or just lift your hat and move on...
