Kiss My Knits!

Oh, it is on.

I e-mailed another mother to find out if she had gone to the Brownie meeting last night, and if so, whether it had actually taken place. She said she had assumed it wasn’t, so she didn’t go. She mentioned that she knew someone involved with scouting who said we should definitely report it, but said that she didn’t want to get the leader in trouble.

I responded that I sympathized, but I needed to worry about my child more than I needed to worry about the leader. She said, “I agree 100%, for the last 3 weeks I have had to console a crying daughter because the meetings have not taken place.”

Crying child? Mother instincts activated! My call’s already been placed to Scout HQ.

    Oh yeah. Totally. This is really uncool.

    In the meantime, if this happens again before you get a fixin’, could you maybe call another parent and get together on your own in lieu of an official meeting? That way the girls will still be able to go do stuff together.

    Scout HQ won’t know what hit ’em!

    Sounds like the right thing to do. Flakiness when there are kids’ feelings on the line is super uncool.

    Not a bad idea. I flatly refuse to be a full-time leader, as I would not enjoy it and I’m already going crazy enough, but I wouldn’t mind stepping up for a couple of weeks.

    I was mainly thinking of just inviting someone (or two) over to your living room for making Sculpey beads and the like, but yeah 🙂

    Heh. Cleaning our house enough to permit a group of kids to come over would involve protective goggles and a fire hose. Wait until you see Friday’s post on our carpet replacement.

    I’d like to use the excuse that it’s too small here, but then I remember that my mom had over my entire third grade class for a birthday party in this very house. Darn her efficiency!

    Isn’t it? When my folks moved, we were able to buy the house. We got a very nice Mom discount. 🙂 I love it. I know all the weird little noises it makes, all the back roads to everywhere, and all the neighbors remember when I was a little kid. 🙂
