A TWISTER!

We had a tornado watch/warning this week and had to all congregate in the hallway until it was called off.  The kids didn't know what was going on and the other moron that was "teaching" with me was freaking out and going "oh gosh a twister is going to touch down oh no i'm so scared i hope it doesn't come here." I had to yell at her, remind her my children are only three years old and don't know very much about tornadoes, and tell her not to scare them by being so upset.

Naturally I had to bring my kids something to keep them occupied so I brought a bunch of books with us and told them we were having a "reading party" in the hallway. It worked pretty well, so well actually that when we could go back in the room, one child started crying. I asked her what was wrong and she said she wanted to have a party, and when I told her we did, and that the party was finished, she cried "but there were no cupcakes or candles!" Oh youthful innocence. I tried to explain to her that not all parties involved singing "Happy Birthday" and eating handfuls of sugar, but it didn't work. Luckily, I got to leave shortly after :p
