You've captured my last year so perfectly!
Ah Wes, don't rain on my parade...I was starting up some nice chit-chat with 2 Russian ladies.
Funny moment. At pickup today, XW ripped into me for being late (~10 min) to pickup S6 to drive him to school. She had a poofy bedhead going, and obviously had just rolled out of bed to get him ready and to the parking lot.
S6 and I enjoyed our convo on the way, then about 1 hr after pickup, XW called (I let it go to voicemail, expecting more barking) to tell me that she was at work and had locked herself out of the house, and wondered if she could borrow my key. Her words, "I came to work in case you did. I didn't know where else to go." I was going to ask her to walk to my office (my class of 200 wild freshmen is in less than 1 hr, and there's prep work to do), but realizing that she was likley humiliated enough to be there, I walked the key down to her office and handed it to her, smiled and said, "I'm sorry that happened to you. Hope the rest of your day goes better." Just light and friendly. She seemed to relax, thanked me, and noted that she was going home to shower.
