Dear Parents,
On Tuesday morning we will be going to Dr. Rampton's Orthodontist office. The permission slip did not get passed out today so please be sure to watch for it to come home with your student on Monday.  Sign it and return it on Tuesday morning. If you do not want your child to attend the field trip you can even email me and I will make other arrangements for them here at school.
Thanks,
Mrs. Swenson

Hi! Araceli doesn't want to go on the field trip. She was just at the ortho this morning! :) Can she stay at school? If not, I'll keep her home until after. Thanks! Circe

Subject:  Warning: I Am Losing It

Now I remember:  Freestone has Mrs. Swenson.  Araceli had Mrs. Swenson last year.  When I told Ari about the field trip and accused her of losing the permission slip, she mused, "Hmm...nobody has mentioned it.  And we did that last year!"  Still, no red flags.  No dawning of understanding in my mind.  Not until the email.  Only then did I find the permission slip in Freestone's backpack.  On the bright side, I did laugh about it all evening, which probably made me look crazier than I really am, driving around in my car cackling.  Or maybe I really am that crazy.  You'll have to ask Mrs. Swenson.
