This morning I sent Froglet off to her new school. There are very few French secondary schools in Toronto, so it's pretty far away from our house. She now has her own key because she'll be home earlier than me in the evening (OMG!!!) and her very own brand new cellphone. (Oh man, seems like she was a baby just YESTERDAY!)

She texted me this morning: "The school bus took me to the wrong school. Don't worry, everything is fine."

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, EVERYTHING IS FINE? *hyperventilates*

A new year of insanity has begun.

"The school bus took me to the wrong school. Don't worry, everything is fine."

I probably laughed harder than I should have, because I suddenly flashed back on 1999 when I was stationed in Bosnia and I sent my mother a similar message over AOL IM: "They shot down a MiG nearby, but don't worry, everything is fine." I'm pretty sure I used the same flippant phrasing (with almost no helpful information) that your kid did. My poor mother!
