This was a picture of one of those winged red question marked boxes in that New Super Mario Bros game we just can't seem to get enough of. I know I said we were DONE with the theme and we were DONE giving our thumbs a workout, but as you've undoubtedly figured out, I am a big sucker when it comes to video games that take me back and an even bigger sucker when it comes to you. As long as you still prefer to run around outside, I think the video games are a-ok.
But, this picture, ah, well...It pretty much is a perfect representation of today. The bright spot is that THIS time, when the school said they were serving breakfast for lunch, they actually DID serve breakfast for lunch and you loved it. It was the first thumbs up that cafeteria has received.
You've taken your lunch all but six days of the school year, so on the days you choose to eat a hot lunch, I put your "note" in a plastic zippy bag and put it in your pocket (it's the only way you'll agree to buy your lunch, you really love these notes). I always take a picture of the picture because I know poop happens and since I am actually saving all of these, I can at least print it out if it gets lost or...washed.
Heh. Well, mom's aren't perfect and I somehow neglected to take a picture of this particular picture, and I was so flustered by the end of the day, that when I stuck your uniform in the wash, I neglected to check your pockets; which shouldn't be surprising, I suck at checking pockets regardless of mood. I have a very strong feeling you are going to learn early on to empty your pockets before you give your clothes to me. Either that, or you are going to start doing your own laundry at a young age and wouldn't that be fun? I think so.
The baggie wasn't Ziploc, it was knock off brand and that crumpled mess is all that's left of your picture. Sorry dude. I'm sure it didn't help that I got snippy and rude with you over something trivial just prior to pulling the soggy mess out of the washer. Don't worry though, I got my just desserts. While looking online for something to draw for you for September 24th, I stumbled across a pretty nasty virus which is going to be an absolute PLEASURE to clean up. You think I'm the bees knees when it comes to computer stuff, so you have full confidence I'll have it fixed in no time flat. I'm thinking that the destroyed Mario Bros picture is a sign that I need to stick to my "no Mario theme" promise, and the virus from trying to plagiarize an online picture is a sign that I need to start drawing from my imagination. Oh, and also? I should probably try to be less snippy over trivial things.
Love,
Your mom, who sounds like a scientist (according to you)
