More Mason

Mason: Is it illegal to kiss girls?
Uncle John: (laughing) Why?
Mason: There's a policeman at my school, and he's been watching me.

Mason: How do you get old?
Me: What do you mean?
Mason: Like - how does your skin go from being young and normal to old and crunchy?

If the students in Mason's preschool class get all of their table work done, then they get to play in various centers. Mason NEVER gets his table work done because he visits and daydreams.
Me: Did you get to play in centers today?
Mason: Yes.
Me: That's great - you got your table work done!
Mason: No - I snuck in.

Me: When you play at school, do you play with the boys or girls?
Mason: I play with the girls when they play house.
Me: Do you help protect them against the bad guys?
Mason: No way - I AM the bad guy!

Spring Break

Spring Break at the Baysingers...

• My brother, his wife and daughter along with my boys and I took a minivan ride to visit our dad near the Lake of the Ozarks. It was a short visit, but a good visit. Max had their house destroyed within the first 5 minutes of the visit, and I'm sure they'll have to call in a housekeeping service to restore things.
  
• We stayed at a resort that looked lovely on the website. I guess the website must have been built in 1985, though.
  
• There was some sort of concert going on in a ballroom near our room, so I was lulled to sleep with a combination of Max's crying and a bad rendition of "Moon River".
  
• I have always and will always love a good outlet mall. Osage Beach has a great outlet mall and I came home with receipts to prove it...well - I destroyed the receipts, but I have a closet full of stuff to prove it.
• Max's bottom DOES NOT double as a credit card machine, though Mason attempted to swipe his room key card to find out. Debit or credit? Poor Max - it's tough being the baby.
• Mason is a daredevil and proved it on the water slides at our hotel. Yes - there was an indoor water park!
  
• I will always be a small town girl at heart. ElDorado Springs, Missouri could be my new hometown. There was a small grocery store in which you could actually FIND the things you want - unlike our new Dillons that sells furniture and vacuum cleaners, for pete's sake! And when we stopped at Sonic, I noticed that almost every car had its windows rolled down and the occupants were visiting with the people in the cars next to them. So small town.
  

Bus Driver Drama Part 2

It appears that there are a few pieces of the "Foxy" puzzle that I inadvertently omitted in my previous post. I've decided that they are worth sharing.

First - it turns out that the photo that "Foxy" shared with Marcus from her glory days (as she calls them) was a boudiour photo - sort of like a sexy Glamour Shot from the 80's. Seriously - it's bad enough that Marcus had to see the photo, but imagine him trying to smile and respond politely as she's showing him the photo on the bus route!

Second - when Marcus was in the principal's office, he was asked to bring up his Facebook account and show the things "Foxy" had sent him. Afterward, the principal hesitantly mentioned that he'd heard rumors of an unauthorized Facebook account some students had set up for him. He asked Marcus if he would help him find it, as he wasn't sure how to use Facebook and had never been on the site. Poor Marcus - he brought up the page and then watched in horror as the principal viewed this less than tasteful page. Does it get any worse than watching your principal learn that he belongs to an "anti-sex" club?
