Mom Skips School

After a few weeks, my mom had made a pretty good recovery from her cracked pelvis. I planed a little treat for her.

She normally went to the high school in the mornings for work, but I though it would be fun to take her for a ritzy massage and fancy lunch in Houston.

I called her boss, Mr. Angel, and asked if I could whisk her off to Houston for a day of fun. Of course this was all a secret to her. I didn’t tell her that Mr. Angel was more than ok with her taking off. It was a surprise day of playing hooky. We were going to “skip school”.

I got Mr. Angel in on the game. At my request, he texted my mom the night before. “Please dress nicely because the principle and other administrators are going to drop in to review a class tomorrow….

The last few weeks, I had been driving my mom to school. The morning I was going to take her to Houston, we got in the car… She thinks she is going to the high school… What happened was “Mrs. Andersons’ Day Off”.

If you haven’t treated someone you love in the last week or two, make sure you immediately put it on the “to do” list. Show them you love them. You might only have today. Make now count.
