1st Graders

Going to help my friend chaperone her 1st grade class to the Academy of Arts on Wednesday. I'm a little nervous about that. What do I know about watching 1st graders?

Sure, I'm exposed quite often to my friend's kids, and I love them. But traditionally I'm not absolutely the type of person that would just be very familiar with just any strange kid. And that's perhaps a good thing isn't it? I mean....I see a snotty little kid come by and stare at me I just walk away. Little disease carrying dirt ball! hahah. I sound evil don't I? Perhaps I shouldn't be doing this.

Nah, it should be fine. I originally said OK to this just as a break from my normal routine. Shouldn't be TOO hard. I used to be a junior leader for Summer Fun programs back in maybe my Freshman and Sophomore years of high school. It was kind of fun, sometimes kids warm up to you pretty quickly and suddenly you're their "favorite" leader and stuff like that. Flattery gets you everywhere.

So we're going to see the Academy of Arts and later the Honolulu Hale where the Xmas Trees are being exhibited. I hope I don't lose any kids or let any trees topple on those poor suckers. WHOOPS!

Now I just gotta find out how to bring my own "sack lunch". I haven't owned a sack or taken my lunch around with me in years! Where the heck will the lunch wagons be?
