Sons Just Don't Get It!!!!

I have five children, the three oldest being girls. Girls tell you what is going on and keep you up to date on things. Boys, at least mine, not so much.

My youngest son, in his last year of high school now, has repeatedly forgotten to tell me about class trips, permission slips, and the list goes on. Over the years I have rushed to the school with a packed lunch in hand as the entire class waits for me so they can carry on with their trip. I am wondering if the teachers think I just don't care or I am tired out with all these kids. Seriously!!!

Anyway, in keeping with that theme, I receive a letter today inviting me to a celebration at the High School YESTERDAY to recognize the academic success of my son (oh, and other kids too).
Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of him, just disappointed that I wasn't at the school. I was here at home doing laundry and other mother things. His reaction "no big deal Mom, here are the certificates and things they gave me". Great, thanks!!.

This is my baby, his last year in school, best he has done in his entire school career and I wasn't there to be a cheerleader...hmm, maybe that is why I didn't get invited.

Oh well, sons just don't get it, or perhaps Moms don't get it. I'm not sure.
