Alabama to the Moon
I took my daughter for her "interview" at a Montessori school yesterday. It was truly one of those moments of mortification when I had to clamp my teeth down and say NOTHING.
Teacher: "This month is Paris month. We're learning all about Paris."
Juniorette: "Oooooh, Paris. I know about Paris." which is when she's supposed to mention how daddy whisked mommy off to Paris to propose with a ring he'd been designing with a jeweler for months, etc.
Teacher: "Oh, have you been to Paris?"
Juniorette: "No, but I've been to ALABAMA."
The kid has been to Ireland 5 times, Mexico, Honduras and Belize, but NO. It's Alabama that has made the biggest impression. I regret that beach trip to the Redneck Riviera greatly. Apologies to all Red Tiders. Buy the plate here.
Kids always remember the oddest things. We took our kids on a field trip to a planetarium and all they could talk about afterwards was the weird car they saw on the way.

Watch it toots, the Emerald Coast is quite beautiful!! Your
angel has good taste (in beaches)
My son, age 7 at the time, spent a day at a nice old private high school shadowing his little babysitter and all he could tell me was the school parrot pooped.
There ARE good folks who miss you guys in Nashville..... :)
