Wolverines in the classroom
Friday, April 9, 2010 at 11:53AM 
This is a conversation I had with my son this morning. He is nine and he is in the third grade.
Morgan: We have a new pet in our classroom. Guess what it is.
Me: A wolverine!
Morgan: No...
Me: A jaguar!
Morgan: No...
Me: A mongoose!
Morgan: No, it's a bunny rabbit and...
Me: A gazelle!
Morgan: No Papa, I already said it's a bunny rabbit. So anyway, we were trying to decide on a name and...
Me: A hyena! An elephant! A crocodile!
Morgan: No. It's a bunny rabbit.
Me: A bunny rabbit? That's what I said the first time!
Morgan: Ok yes, you said that the first time. Anyway we were trying to decide on a name...
Me: Hah! No I DIDN'T say that the first time! I said wolverine the first time. You're just saying that to humor me so I'll be quiet.
Morgan: Yes I am. So anyway we were trying to give the rabbit a name...
It is now clear to me that my ENTIRE family is conspiring against me.
Even my nine-year old son.

you may get some folks to drink the Kool-aid, but not me!!!!
Morgan's irritation is almost palpable.
Ah maaaaaan, I'm disappointed. I was hoping it was a wolverine. The Wolverine! I was about to ask for the school's location.
