Disappointment

I was supposed to take two students to a leadership summit this morning (Saturday). Getting up early on a weekend, going to school, driving the kids to another school, spending the day, driving them home, was not my idea of fun. However, it was the right thing to do.

However, I had barely left the neighborhood and I got a call from one of the students, "I'm sick and I can't go. But I talked to Fred, and he is still going."

Ok, I continue going to school. I wait, and wait. Fred was a no-show.

As one of my colleagues once said, "You can always count on a kid to disappoint you."

I guess I don't really believe that, but there must be a learning experience here, for someone.
