so i volunteered for field day. it was the day of the cute boy's birthday party, but i was committed to be a good momma and be a part of his fun field day time. i would have a watchful eye on him, his peers, and take lots of pictures and such. well, when i got there i was immediately assigned to the popcorn machine. i was happy to help, no complaining at all.
i was a little worried when the other lady i was volunteering with shared nightmares of popcorn smells lasting for days on her body...particularly because right after field day we were headed on a camp out. but all ended up being well.
but what was happening was my vision of parent after parent united with their children all relishing in the field day fun together. how did they get to do such a thing??? THEY were visitors.
they were hanging with their kiddos that day, doing all that i had planned, but did not do.
it took me til 5th grade to figure that out.
