Waitin' for My Mom

Brenda-Norma-Rebekah
I had my car in the shop the other day, so when my mom said she was coming to town to see me, I said, "Great, could you pick me up after work and give me a ride to the shop to pick it up?" 

"Sure." 

You have to know that I work at an all 6th grade school.  I was sitting on a bench in front of the school waiting when some students said, "Mrs. Hanson, what are you doing?"

"Waitin' for my mom."

The looks on their faces were priceless! 
# ONE....I have a mom.
# TWO...She's still living.
# THREE...She can drive a car.

I have to laugh about it every time I think of it.  It was worth the $849 it cost to have the car fixed to have that experience. 

Thanks for picking me up, Mom!

  2. Yes, aren't we all on the endangered species list in the eyes of 6th graders? What a hoot!
