Terms of Endearment


We get a lot of email from LCDS, the Moo's small school which is home to about 200 children, so about 150-175 families, more or less. Their main form of communicating with the parents is via mass parental distribution lists, to reach the widest possible audience. We get about three or four emails from them everyday, and today was no exception. I generally don't check my email that much on days that I work, but Dad gets his LCDS emails sent to his work account, so he sees them as they come in. Once came in today about the summer school being extended for a week, and since planning child care for the summer had been largely my domain, he forwarded it to me. He wrote the following on the forwarded email "Hi Sweet 'Ems! Does this affect us? I hope you are having a good day. I love you! Hubby."

I should rather say that he wrote that on what he thought was a forwarded email but was rather a reply to all on an email that had been sent to the entire school population, staff and parents all included (not student, thank goodness). At last count, he had literally received about 50 emails back, mostly from other dads, mostly saying things like "Thanks Snuggle Bunny! I love you too!" We are hoping if we keep our heads down and don't make eye contact with anybody for the next week, it will all blow over . . .
