Ismael:  What year were you born?

Me: 1970

Ismael: What day?

Me: Whhhhyyyyy??? ::eyeing the computer suspciously::

Ismael: Just nothing. I just ask.

Me:  You never just ask… what are you doing.

Ismael: Nothing ::pecking away at the computer::  What grade you teach? Fourth?

Me: For the love of God, what are you dooooing?

Ismael:  Sixth?  I’ll put sixth.

Me: ISMAEL WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

a looong silence.

Ismael:  Signing you up to teach in Africa.  You get a free ticket.

Me: And malaria.

……

And now a picture of my sleeping child.  Hopefully this will distract you from the fact that I have been on a bloggy vacation because work AND blogging? When your work isn’t blogging?  Nearly impossible.
