This week at my son’s school is Drug Awareness Week. Mostly, for short, it’s called “Drug Free Week” - which is oddly unsettling, considering he’s in 1st grade and it’s an ELEMENTARY school. As if, for this week, no drugs for you first graders!! Aah… I wish he didn’t even have to learn about that crap, but I guess the reality of it is he DOES have to learn, because there are actual scumbags out there that realy WOULD try to get my 1st grader to use drugs. Asshats.

So anyway, for the week each day is a different theme. Today is his favorite theme - crazy sock day. Needless to say, being  a little boy his socks just don’t get too crazy. We won’t discuss his mama’s crazy sock collection, that’s entirely beside the point. So, he got a grey sock, and a white sock with red & blue stripes at the top. To him, that was crazy. He was very, very proud of his crazy sock selection. I’m just glad I didn’t have to send him off in any of mine….

Before school this morning, he lifted his pants to show Aimee his crazy socks, as he cracked up laughing. She asked why his socks didn’t match, it took her a minute to catch on (she had just woken up, in her defense). I made a comment about it being drug week at school… and… here’s the kicker…

N says….

“NO mom, it’s FREE DRUGS at school this week!!!”

(P.S. - It’s not that I don’t have anything to write about lately, it’s just that I’m being greedy! Sorry. I promise to start writing more regularly. I’ve also just been really busy. New guy, looking for a new job, very little sleep, etc, etc.)
