Mama Drama

I must admit, I got sucked in.

The day school was out, Syd got her report card.
On the report card was a little white sticker. With the name of her teacher for next year.
Almost immediately the phone began to ring.

"Who did you get?"
At first, I had no idea what the question meant.
Then I got it.
"Oh, Syd got Soandso."
Then, the dreaded response.
"oh"
Or, more of an "Ugh"

Crap.
So, then the gossip starts.
"Well, I heard from my friend that she is mean, unorganized, and your princess will learn nothing all year and eventually turn into an uneducated delinquent who will go on to a life of crime"
Or something like that.
At least that's what I heard.

It took me exactly two hours to spiral into worry, anger, and despair.
SB was going to be a juvenile delinquent by 2nd grade, and I had to put a stop to it!

That weekend was Hell. There was some serious stewing going on.
The following Monday I talked to the Principal. She confirmed what I figured out on Sunday.
I was crazy. The gossip was slightly exaggerated. And Princess would be fine.
Maybe even excel.
Who knows?

I also got a call from the teacher, making sure we have good communication.
She said she's so excited to have Princess in her class.

The drama is over.
Next time I just have to get a hold of my damn self.
Please remind me of this moment the next time I see that little white sticker.
