I love morning car duty.
Seriously I do.
I love getting kids out of cars and telling them to have a great day.
I truly would do it every day {I only do it every other week}
because I think it's a great way to start the day.
While doing morning duty I have observed a few interesting things.
- Lots of kids eat breakfast on the way to school and some people eat VERY interesting things. My favorite thus far was the little girl yesterday morning eating a bag of microwave popcorn. Dude, I like popcorn but....for breakfast?
- LOTS of kids don't sit in booster seats and LOTS sit in the front seat that really shouldn't be. As a mom who didn't let her daughter sit in the front seat until she was 13 I know I was a
littletadbitlot overprotective but aren't they supposed to be
in booster seats when they are little?
Please put them in the back seat! - I love hearing the sweet things moms/dads and kids say as they are getting out of the car each morning. I hear lots of "Have a good day!" and "Learn something today!" and "Behave yourself!". My favorite is a super cute little kindergarten girl whose mom always says "God bless you today!" and the little girl replies
"God bless you today too mama!".
So sweet! - Many people have SERIOUS trash in their cars. I mean we all have stuff in our car but some people have so much their kiddos can't even get out of the car without knocking trash out. Maybe we need a car hoarders TV show?
- We get the kids out of the car each morning so the parents can stay in the driver seat and keep the line moving but every once in a while a parent will stop and get out. Tuesday I had a dad stop, get out, walk around the car {which was blocking the others from continuing}, pull out his pocketknife and cut off his daughters hanging fingernail. Random. Seriously random.And noticing these things makes me think....
I wonder what teachers have observed about me while I was dropping Madison off at school? Hmmm..................
