Modern Prometheus

So, the teacher opens the car door and X yells out "HI GIDDY! HI DADDY!" He's so excited he can't even get in the car. But then the mood turns...

Before we are out of the school parking lot, I hear a soft, meek little voice coming from the back seat "Daddy, please don't' get mad at me."
I look back at Xavier and asked why.
The soft little voice says, "I had to sit out for 5 minutes."
"Why?"
On the verge of tears, he says, "Because I said the 'S' word." and here come the tears... and then on cue Gideon starts crying too.
  
I told him that me and mommy would talk about it this evening when she gets home. A few minutes pass and he's telling me about his day.

Today is the "nineteenf" and today they picked that it was sunny. I don't know if this is the case or not but he's telling me the story as if the kids in his classroom choose what the weather will be each day. It's funny.

He also made, according to him, a little human today. "Miss Holt gave me a paper person  and then she gave me shorts, buttons, a shirt, and some hair. and then I glued the shorts, shirt and buttons. Then, Miss Holt told me to put some glue on the man's head and then put his hair and the hair will kind of stick. Then she gave me some googly eyes, but first I had to draw a mouth and a nose, and then she gave me googly eyes I glued them in place. and then uh...let me think. I had to flip it over and write my name on the back. That's how I did my human!"



I think I'll have a new segment in my blog called -

TALES FROM THE LUNCHROOM ::insert cheesy 50's sci-fi theme:: Today, one of his friends had raisins for lunch. He told Xavier that his raisin's were dead fish and they tasted like blood. AWESOME!

And finally, relayed to me from Shannon: Every morning, there is a little girl that wants to hold Xavier's hand. One day she dragged him down the steps. Shannon, and I, have been trying to tell him that he didn't have to hold her hand if he didn't want to. He's been trying to tell her no, but she is an insistent little girl. Well, today, she was trying to hold his hand, he kept telling her no but she didn't listen. Then, an older boy had commented on Xavier's Star Wars shirt and then they began talking about Star Wars and how Anakin was Xavier's favorite. The little girl then went and hid behind her grandmother.
