April 10: The principal changed the morning recess schedule without telling anyone. School is almost out for the day and even the people in the front office can’t tell me when exactly I’m supposed to start recess duty.
April 11: My kids decided to rank all of their teachers according to how much they like us. They put me at 5th place. Ms. Caritas, the teacher who left them last year a month before the term ended, was awarded first place. Immediately after, Arianna asked me to help her with her math homework. I told her she should go ask her first favorite teacher for help.
April 12: Robert’s aunt came in again and added Ana in on the threats, telling her that she was more than willing to make this battle physical. Apparently, the one-sided conversation included her repeating how pissed she was about Robert getting bullied and absolutely no sense of irony.
April 13: We watched the San Francisco Symphony play the soundtrack to Raiders of the Lost Ark. It makes me so happy to see such devotion taken to present a movie that required two men and forty takes to create a Nazi-Sympathizer monkey.
April 14: The entire school is dressing up in colors of the rainbow to celebrate LGBTQ people. The staff was a bit concerned about how the parents would take this, considering that 90% of Catholic and the rainbow parade happened to coincide with Good Friday.
April 15: Elaine got the results of her DNA test back. She was excitedly showing me how the program was even able to suggest possible family members and found a first cousin of hers that she did not know existed. I asked her how she could have a first cousin she never met. Turns out, her uncle had faked his death for over 35 years and started a new family in a different state.
April 16: Christiana always manages to leave something behind every time we see her. Today, she left a bag of weed and a bigger bag of ham on our kitchen table.
much love,
