So you will never believe this.  I might have already mentioned this little issue, but today it reared its head in a funny way. Last week, the teacher in her classroom and the education majors working with Miss Annie made a point to really slow down and clarify how to say Selah June’s name and whether or not we had any other names she might go by. I said that at home we always call her Selah June. Others call her Selah from time to time, so that would be fine too. And they asked again… Any other name? No. Selah June.

Why such heartburn? Because there is a little girl in her class named Saylor. This is so funny because my autocorrect on my phone always changes her name to Sailor. There are only about 4-5 little girls in her class…and a Selah and Saylor? Really???

So today I went to pick her up, and she was outside playing. She saw me and came running to greet me. I immediately noticed that she was wearing a long, off-white sweater that did not belong to her. The teachers looked at each other with panic and thought aloud that it must have been Saylor’s. And then we went to get SJ’s green jacket, and it was missing. Their eyes were as big as saucers. It must have gone home with Saylor. Now we all know Miss SJ doesn’t let anybody touch her stuff. This only happened because the green jacket was knew and everybody was busy having fun outside after being cooped up inside from the freezing cold.

What are the odds???  Really… What are the odds?
