Daughter: Mama! I have pets!
Mama: Excuse me?!?!
Daughter: A whole bunch of tadpoles from L's pond! And Daddy says we can keep them!
Now I know how my mom felt when my grandmother let me win goldfish at the carnival and bring them home. Sigh. So out came the old fishtank from the garage, and my husband gets to set it up. Actually, it'll be fun to watch them grow and then release them with her.
I have two classes worth of kids right now, as another teacher's little one got sick, and I had the smallest group. So now I have a big group. But it's a short week due to July 4th being a no-school day. So I'll really, really be grateful for the three day weekend!
