Kids Are Priceless!!!
OK, I know it's been a looooooong time since I have posted anything. I've been out of the groove and I have no excuse execpt laziness.
So here's a story that I've been told by many to write down to be sure to remember it for years to come.
First a little background. Every year our school (GCS) does a huge fundraiser called the Grace Race. It's been going on since I was in school at Grace. I think this is the 24th Annual race this year. So each class does something unique and special to reach their goal for their class. Well, the 3rd grade class does a wax museum. The way this works is this; the student reads a book on a well-known person in history (They learn some history and get a grade either for history or English, I'm not sure). Anyway, then once the book is read they create notecards, costumes and speech to be given to the class and ultimately to the entire school in the form of a wax museum. It's a really cool idea!! On the day of the wax museum each student in the school can come to the museum, drop a coin in the bucket and get a brief history report on the character that the student is pretending to be.
Well, Logan decided to do his report on Colin Powell. On Sunday afternoon he was reading his book and started to tell us about how the kids in Colin's neighborhood divided into two different types of people, "those who did drugs" and "those who didn't do drugs". Well then he tell us that there was a third catagory and that was the friends that became "mutes". With great curiousity I asked how he had come to that conclusion and his answer was, "... the book said that some of his friends he never heard from again!" Trying not to laugh Mark and I explained that what the book meant was that he maybe lost contact with them and didn't know exactly what happened to them.
We have had several laughs since then (in private of course).
I hope you enjoyed that because I know I did.
