Life…How Hard Can It Be?

conversation with Eason this morning:

“Mom, I’m having a hard time today.”

“What’s wrong, sweetheart?”

“My principal is a vampire.”

(me, trying not to laugh……)

“What makes you think that?”

(Eason trying not to cry…. lip quivering)

“I had a dream he turned into a vampire and chased me at school.”

“Well, sweetie, it was just a dream. You know Mr McClellan would never do anything like that. Besides, he looks just like Santa Clause.” (only he’s really thin!)

“No, Mom. I looked out the window this morning and the school looked just like it did in my dream, and the street lights were on just like in my dream, and the neighbor’s house looks like it did in my dream!”

“Well, maybe you’d better not go to school today, then. If you really think your principal is a vampire! Maybe we should call the police! Go get me the phone right now before any other kids get to school, hurry!”

(short pause……)

“Mom, you know that couldn’t happen! Mr McClellan looks just like Santa Clause!”

“Ok, then go get ready for school”.
