School Functions are God’s way of punishment…..
Well here we are dear readers….Tomorrow is the BIG day….Candy for all….and getting to “check” the candy for the little ones. Of course we adults don’t mind “checking” the candy. Seems that every Reese’s Cups, Hershey’s, Snickers and M&M are “suspicious” and “unsafe” for the little ones and of course we can’t leave it lying around the house and we must “dispose” of it. However, after some thought I have decided that children started the rumor of razor blades in the apples story. Just think about it. Since this story got started people stopped handing out apples and returned to candy. This was one smart kid I am telling you. This sounds like something my children would come up with. So anyway I am not sure if I have complained or not but we had another “volunteer” at school or we make you feel guilty. I am a firm believer that if your kids school as an event that needs “volunteers” then you should do your part. However, most people don’t believe this concept. I cannot in good conscience refuse to do our part for the school. Yep I am a goody two-shoes. I am a regular girl scout. However I have decided that “volunteering” is God’s way of punishing you for having kids. This thought came after 30 minutes of standing guard at the Go-Fishing game. First off if a little kid came up and didn’t have tickets I would let the go. I am not God of the Go-fishing game and couldn’t turn a five year old away. Also, it isn’t just punishment for watching the booth oh no you have to explain to your six year old that we are to poor for her to play the games and ride the rides. I hate being poor and it is so unfair to my children that we are so poor that they can’t even play games are a fall festival. So as I type this blog I am listening to my kids fight over the fact there is not soda left and feeling bad for the kids because we are poor and they get the business end of the sticks. Oh well life goes on right….So I will let you go….I am sure you have last minute costumes repairs, mad dash for the last Halloween candy at Wal-Mart, or ways to sneak liquor into the Halloween party punch….oh wait that is what I am doing…
