Teacher Daddy

At Matilda's school if one of the teachers is sick or out for the day, they are replaced by a parent. Yesterday while Tim was performing his other civic task, jury duty, I volunteered him to fill in today in the classroom. For all his nervousness ahead of time, it turned out to be great fun I think. Tim seemed to have a good time, and even better, I finally got an insiders report on what goes on all day at school. It didn't seem like it cramped Matilda's style too much to have Daddy at school either, at least for just this once. Tim came home with a full report on the days agenda (turns out Matilda can wait patiently in a line - sort of; also when all the kids were asked what they want to be when they grow up she said Sleeping Beauty.), a better knowledge of all M's classmates (M's new bud Sarah is a stuntwoman), and a bag full of avocados for Porter from the schoolyard tree.
