School pick-up

I was a little late in picking Kiah up from school today.  And because of that she was the last one from her class to be picked-up.  So she talked with her teacher.  I pulled into the lot where we part to pick-up our kids and her teacher kindly walked her across the street to meet me.

Teacher: Kiah was telling me that someone named Joseph got shot.
 (I thought... well I am sure there have been lots of people named Joseph that have been shot... who was Kiah thinking of? For some reason Joseph from the Old Testament popped in my mind, but he wasn't shot! Then it clicked... She is talking about our trip to Carthage!)
Luna: oh yeah.... in the 1800's. No need to call social services or the police.  We took a trip to Nauvoo and she apparently remembers some of the History lesson.
Teacher: I was trying to figure it out.  I didn't know i it was a family member.  She said it happened one state over.

I guess I am now in that stage of more understanding and developing communication skills.

That really is funny. Its kind of scary when they start explaining so much more, but don't quite get it all in there.

Love your van story too--you managed to buy yours faster than we did.

I love this story - so great of Kiah and I can imagine the confusion of the teacher! By the way - nice new ride!
