From Pre-K to Pre Calculus (substitute teacher diary)
Drove my son to the ferry this morning, like I do most days when I'm not working. His commute is about 3 hours a day, so I try to shorten the event when I can..my attempt at being a sort of suburban mom..now that I'm the proud owner of an 8 year old car, given to me by my late step mom....En route, da Kid gave me the directive to call Avis immediately (his godfather) to organize money to be sent for this summer's baseball camp. This baseball camp thing has been a covert operation, not to be shared with anyone so "un-baseball" as his mother,(ie, Me). Therefore, I don't know the name of the camp, the location, small details, but he also told me to get the money to them before 5 pm. Obviously my son still thinks of me as a parent with supernatural abilities. It's nice to be a deity...even explains why my son is always mad at me...I'm an imperfect deity...forgetting to do the laundry, cooking bland dinners from time to time...And now I don't have ESP!!! I thought he was going to do the baseball program run by the NYC school system, which he attended last year. which was supposedly good. I also thought he was going to have to go to summer school..as a matter of fact, I believe I know that he'll have to do summer school, but it hasn't gone thru his knuckle head yet.
The aforementioned beloved son has also announced that he doesn't want to pursue a career as iffy as music, that he's done music to make me happy..in fact, he wants to go into that wonderfully stable world of professional baseball.
This is extremely audacious, since he never went to little league, and is playing catchup...he's on his high school baseball team in his mind, only because they're so awful..in a school with a great baseball team, he wouldn't have been able to play.
I support this kid anyway, because I know that audacious dreams do come true..and they're the most fun....
I've labeled the post Pre K to Pre Cal, in order to rant about my days as a substitute, but got sidetracked about "da Kid", who is my inspiration most days...soon I'll be working full time as a special ed teacher, and won't get to work at my son's school, or our neighborhood schools..but I'll be paid like a human, for a change...YAhoo!!!!
