Yesterday, the kindergarten kids made beaded necklaces for the mothers for Christmas. Once this fine jewelry was completed, the kids brought their creations over to one of the middle school helpers for wrapping. (We went through an entire roll of tape. More tape is better when you are five.)
The final link in this process was the creation of a gift card for Mom. The kids would dictate what they wanted to say on the card, Lupita would write it out on a white board, and the kids would copy it. (Except for Jasmine. "YOU write it," she ordered me.)
All the kids at the table were hard at work copying their personalized greetings:
"Merry Christmas Mom."
"This is for you, Mom."
"Feliz Navidad, Mami."
"Happy Holidays Mom."
"I love you Mommy."
So Lupita asks Franky what he wants to write on his mother's gift card.
"Happy Halloween," replies Franky.
"But Franky... it's Christmas," reminds Lupita.
Franky is unfazed and doesn't miss a beat.
"I'm okay with that."
