Ella came home from school today and told me that she had a sub for part of the day. She said that the sub was really nice and even knew Joey from her class when he was a baby.
Ella then said, "Mommy, would you be a sub sometime in my classroom? It would be so cool."
"Well," I said. "I don't qualify because I am not a teacher and I think I would need to take some special classes."
"No problem, Mommy. I am going to write you a list of everything you need to know to become a sub. I'll be right back."
Ella came back a few minutes later with a comprehensive list:
You Work We Work
We Play You Sit.
We read.
And there you have it.
