The oldest boys have been hounding me all week for book fair money, and I kept forgetting to get cash. I very seldom carry cash, so I needed to either cash a check at work or swing by the atm, and I simply forgot. I promised them that I would give them some money to take tomorrow (the last day of the book fair – no pressure).

Anyway, as we were leaving karate tonight, No. 2 asked, “What time is it?? The book fair closes at 8:00!” I asked what he was talking about, since I thought tomorrow was the last day.

No. 1 piped up and said to his brother, “Tonight is just for the parents who go to the PTA meeting. She ain’t got any time for P-T-A!”

I LOLed and wondered where he came up with that. Granted, I am not especially eager to get involved in PTA (not because it is an unworthy organization, but mainly for the reason No. 1 so bluntly referenced). However, I don’t think I’ve ever verbalized that fact. It made me laugh, but it also reminded me to be VERY careful what I do say in front of them!

When all was said and done, they went to bed happy with cash in their backpacks for tomorrow.
