I was out last night, so the Wife took the call some time around 8:30. She was expecting it to be a family member. But the caller ID revealed a surprise: the lass’ kindergarten teacher.
I don’t recall any kind of phone call for the boy when he was in kindergarten, and it’s possible that this was a new thing for the teacher. Regardless, the lass’ teacher called to let us how impressed she was with the lass. In fact, the lass apparently offered up a “first” for the teacher.
The kids have various jobs in the class: feeding the birds, feeding the fish, setting up the calendar, line leader and so forth. The lass’ job last week was to feed the birds. Apparently, the lass took it upon herself to arrange with one of the other girls in the class to feed the birds this past Friday since the lass knew she wasn’t going to be in school to do it. The teacher explained that in all her years of teaching, she’d never had a student do that before.
More generally, the Wife said that it was a good thing the lass wasn’t there to hear the conversation. She would have been insufferable after all the praise she received from the teacher.
It’s enough to make me wonder if she didn’t have our daughter confused with another child.
