Post from Wifegrit — Scooting to School

By Wifegrit

Last week my oldest son came home from school early because he was sick. Later that afternoon we remembered he had a science quiz the next day, so we went online to his school’s website to look at the words he needed to review. We were so busy that I lost track of time. When I looked up at the clock, it was 3:45!!! Eeek! It was time to pick up my youngest son. He gets out of school at 3:45!!!

Our neighborhood is located next to the school so we usually walk to and from school. I jumped up and ran outside. I grabbed one of the boys’ Razor scooters and took off for school! Yes I rode my son’s scooter to school. I was there in less then 3 minutes. It was actually a lot of fun. When I arrived, I put the scooter down and walked down the hill where we pick up the boys. My youngest was waiting patiently. I told him the story of how I had forgotten to keep up with the time and so had to rush out fast. He then looked up at me and said, ”Mom, that’s kind of embarrassing that you rode my scooter.”
