"Squeeee!"
Yesterday was the introduction of the Three Little Pigs unit, evidently. Today, as I rounded the corner of the school building to pick up the Little Fayoumis, I beheld a sea of pinkness.
All of the first-graders were in costume, with pink construction-paper headbands sporting pointy, piggy ears, and pipe-cleanered-on styrofoam cup and construction paper snouts.
Little Fayoumis approached me with the intent of showing off his new gear. (His class was out a little early. I was there a little early. There was a crowd of first-graders surrounding his teacher, and he'd just detached himself from the herd.) "I'll huff!" I declared. "And I'll puff!"
Little Fayoumis got into the spirit of things by snorting and squealing.
"And I'll blow your house in!"
So I huffed. (Little Fayoumis quickly backed out of slobber-range.)
And I puffed.
And I huffed, and I puffed.
Huffed.
Puffed.
Sagged, panting.
"I can't blow your house in!" I declared, hamming it up. "It's made of brick!"
General giggles from those assembled. I think I've established my general parental coolness to the first-graders.
