Bad Parenting 101

I took him to school any way.

We had been looking forward to it for weeks.

I made arrangements for my girls so I could chaperone. So I could witness his first field trip and first bus ride.

We weren’t about to let a little croup stop us.

Poor little thing tried his hardest to have a good time.

I could see it in his eyes.

But overshadowing that spark was overwhelming exhaustion and drowsiness

and a torrent of coughing.

 

But at least he can say he has ridden a school bus!

 

I wonder what the team t-ball pictures will look like tomorrow…
