Just another school day

Tweet

Tuesday dad called from his work, " You might wanna call the school and find out what's going on. Everybody's leaving to go pick their kids up. Apparently some kid running around there with a gun." No I wasnt buying the story about the gun. I had a feeling that was bs. I called the school anyway to get the real story. They told me that they were on lock down and had extra security due to a threat. That was all. Not long after I got off the phone with the school then my older teen calls trying to give me with the same story. "Mom. Come get us. There's some guy here with a gun." Me: " Ya know, that might actually be convincing if you werent using the same tone your grandpa always uses when he tells us to pull his finger." I did end up going there , but only to bring her an extra change of clothes. Its not that I dont care about my kids or their lives. I knew they weren't in any danger You know, the whole mothers intuition, gut feeling thing. And sure enough they gave the all clear and lock down was lifted only a few minutes after we left. This is not the first time this school has recieved threats of violence by the way. Usually its a set up by one or more kids trying to get out of school. These kids must be super bored.
