Activity #11

Hayden goes camping---NOT!!!

It's Friday, and as we all know the school week is long, and we all get a little tired of the routine. For Hayden, her solution is to bypass her trip to school, and go camping instead. Or at least that is what she told her bus driver. All of this came to light when the driver called her mother to verify that Hayden did NOT need to be picked up this morning because she was going camping. "NO. Hayden is not going camping, and needs to be picked up this morning. Thanks for checking." When my sister asked Hayden if she told the bus driver not to pick her up in the morning because she was going camping, Hayden replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Yeah, but it's OK, I'm not going anymore."

We are not too sure who should get the award today. Hayden, for her imagination, or the bus driver, for listening to a 12 year old who rides a bus for children with disabilities. Not much of a toss up in my mind.

Not to self: go camping, it's better than anything else I had planned today.
