These are Not my Children

Both Taylor and Mandy received awards at school last week. However, I believe the awards were actually meant for someone else's children, not mine, because of the awards that they received.  

Exhibit A:

Mandy received the Random Acts of Kindness award for, "Making sure her teacher never has to clean a messy science lab alone and for gladly looking for ways to help out in the classroom."

Wait!! The child who, at home, will NEVER help clean?? The one who can't be bothered to help out at all and she gets an award at school for cleaning and for helping??

Very eerily weird.

Exhibit 2:

Taylor received an award for, "Always on task, respectful, and follows rules."

Wow! So the child who starts fights, can't remember the rules of our house, and rolls her eyes at me is awesome at school.  What the hell?!

Well, in the big scheme of life, I guess that it's great my children are wonderful in public. Ok, ok, it's awesome that my children are so amazing in public and that they are making great choices in life. 

Mandy also received her medal for the Science Fair - Second Place!! Whoo-hoo!! She did her board all by herself, which made Ken and I cringe because it was not aesthetically pleasing. However, the teachers loved her idea and her data and she was the one that you could tell did her work herself.  Haha!!
