Mali's friend called at a quarter to literacy night, to ask if Mali was going up to Nancy Ryles for it. I had forgotten, and so we cancelled our plans for steak and Chinese food and went with toaster-oven reheated pizza and a sandwich for Mali, and all three of us walked up to the school. Susy was due home at 8:00 from her work-trip to API in Issaquah.
We got there just in time to catch the Mayor reading the last page of Cat in the Hat, and then we got to hang out in Mali's classroom, reading her fractured fairy tale starring Christina Aguilera as Red of Little Red Riding Hood in the New York City fashion industry, or something. Then we climbed aboard the Awesome Adventure Airlines for an alliteration lesson. We also covered onomatopoeia, personification, and my favorite: hyperbole. Andrew and I wrote about our trip to Mexico ("The click, clack, and tap, tap, tap of Ping Pong balls kept us awake on our trip. We played Ping Pong day and night without stopping, on our magnificent, magical march to Mexico")
Then we went to the store for eggs and milk and bought tons of other stuff, and got home and unloaded just before Susy pulled in.
No school today, because it's Oregon. Mali just left for school anyway, but with a soccer ball, a tennis ball, and a tennis racket. And my cell phone. Meanwhile, Andrew is still sleeping.
