Kindergarten

Oh my!!!!   I just witnessed something that never even crossed my mind.

I *think* Luke might be having a little fan club of girls.   ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, every day when he has gotten on the bus, I knew I heard the very happy "Hi Luke" from lots of little voices.   I just figured they were all friendly to everyone since they are all in the same class on the bus.   I always thought that was really nice assuming they did it to everyone that got on the bus (we are almost the last stop).   I occasionally see a person turn around and talk to him.  I had a chat with him the other day about that because I thought it was HIM turning the other way & that is not good!  It's hard to see through the tinted windows though who it was since they are all about the same size & have backpacks.  He told me it was someone else talking to HIM.

This morning, I saw something and am dumbfounded basically.   I think my mouth fell open and went "OH MY".   He went to get on the bus and all I hear is a bunch of shrieking girls with "Luke...sit by me, no sit by me, etc..." with them practically getting out of their seats with him climbing into the bus.   I saw one girl had a picture in her hand, that I don't know for sure but almost looked like she was trying to tell him she drew it for him (or was attempting to show him it, since I saw it practically shoved in his face as he was climbing up the stairs!).   It literally was as if a celebrity had just entered their presence.

Now, I've seen this happen in other classes.   I know when my DD was in school there was this one little boy that nearly all the girls fawned over (except DD, she couldn't figure out what the big deal was with this boy but she thought all boys were "eh, who cares" back then too).   I think that went on until about 3rd grade for this one particular boy.     My other boys it wasn't even a blip on the radar.   I never really saw the girls going crazy over any of the boys in that class anyway (or I didn't notice it due to them being boys).

It's going to be REALLY interesting to hear how Luke's parent/teacher conference goes.    It could just be because these girls ride the bus with him every day vs. the entire class but YIKES.    Kind of scary from this angle -- poor kid can't even get on the bus without being mobbed to get to a seat.

The conferences aren't until the week of Thanksgiving (that Monday & Tuesday).

So, we have a while but there isn't any other time I'm going to sit down & talk to the teacher.   I certainly don't think this type of thing warrants a chat...I just figure it might be brought up at conference time.

Who knows -- maybe I have another kid with "I want 25 more just like him" -- for some odd reason (insert me rolling on the floor laughing hysterically due to knowing my older boys personalities -- I think I would look at them in shock if they DID say it), I have NEVER had those comments for Aaron or Kyle.

I used to get those comments for Carolyn all the time.   I don't even bother going to her parent/teacher conferences anymore.   There really is no need for her unless there is some specific issue -- but by 5th grade I could recite what they were going to tell me in the conference.   I only went to those because they basically expected it in grade school.    I think they allotted 10 minutes and ours took about 2.    The boys go the other way with having more people involved.

They have all 3 schools having conferences on the same 2 days.
