"Make-up" Day

Hello All,

I know it's been way to long since I've posted but I finally have found a little time to post a little something. It's quite funny and very cute, at least to me. Hopefully it'll make you laugh if not smile a little.

Now, I know that Columbus Day was Monday October 13, 2008 so again sorry for being behind but this pertains to this day in particular. As you know we were "victims" of hurricane IKE and our schools here in Magnolia were closed. In all the kids were out 1 week and 3 days. Well most of the schools in the area still had a "holiday" on Monday but our kids were told that it would be a make up day. So on the Friday before my DS#2 gets in the car and here is our conversation...

Me: "Hi boys, how was your day?"
DS#1 and #2 (in unison) "Good."
DS#1: "I got green"
DS#2: "Me too!"
Me: "Good job, did you learn anything?"

A second or two passes by and then...

DS#2: "No, but I have to bring some "make-up" to school on Monday."
Me: "Make-up? Why?"
DS#2: "Because, my teacher told us that Monday is "make-up" day!"

I nearly wrecked the car from laughing, it was so funny. The way he said it was just a great. The most serious voice and meant every word of it. In fact he was a little disappointed when I explained to him what it really meant.

Out of the mouths of babes...
