My son’s been looking forward to the three-day class trip into the Caldera next week. Since he’s an only-child, it’s all the more important for him to spend time with other kids. And to be honest, I was planning the things I could do with the free time. And then his teacher called me late this morning. The trip was in danger of being cancelled, because they needed a second…
Poor Helen
