Oh the trouble they cause . . .

The first grade music recital is tonight. On Friday Will took the initiative to let his teacher know he will not be attending the concert, because he has a birthday party to go to on Monday. The truth is he does not have a birthday party to go to, he will be at the recital. Will had a line in the recital, but with his impending absense the line was given to someone else, his friend Paul.

Will let me know all of this around 5:30 on Friday, therefore I couldn't get everything cleared up. So, today I had to call the Mr. Ashton, the music teacher, to confirm that all of this really took place. It had and of course we can't rip the line away from Paul, so Will will not be saying a thing, just singing.

Now the plot thickens a bit. Will did get an invitation to Paul's birthday early last week. He asked me on Thursday when the party was, so he could mark the calendar and make sure I bought a gift in time.

All of this is worrisome to me. Did Will purposely get out of saying the line with the birthday party excuse or was he really mixed up? He put the party in the calendar. He knew it was a Sunday. What gives!

You'll never know for sure. A long talk about honesty couldn't hurt...

Was his line "I'm a maggot" ? If so, then I'd have a talk with him about giving up the coolest line in the recital. If not, all the other lines were duds, so it doesn't need to be discussed any further.

Oh, and I have not been able to get this out of my head for 2 days: "Picnic. Come on let's have a picnic" Of course I raise my arms up & down and up & down like a goofball everytime.
