| I have car rider duty at my school, both before and after. In the afternoon, numbers pop up next to student names on the app that we use. The cars are also supposed to have a card with the coreresponding number that goes with their child, visible in the windshield. Often, as is the case before we can see the numbers, we will ask the first kiddo in line if they can see their car moving up. Some will simply point down the line, and give you nothing more. These are the Mutes. You get Nothing else. Then there are the Einsteins, who are all of five years old but know the make and model of their vehicle. Even if they have a choice of four Different ones that may be picking them up. Alas....None of them, and I stress NONE of them, can tell you what color their veheicle is. Well...Almost none. Me ~ "Honey, do you see your car yet?" 8 Year old ~ "Uh-Huh. It's right there!" I try in vain to follow the trajectory of his pointing finger. Me ~ "What color is it?" 8 year old ~ "It's the GMC." Me ~ "Uh-Huh, and...What COLOR is it?" I ask, as, first of all, I cannot see anything that says GMC, and do not happen to be able to recognize all or even any GMC's from a distance. Sigh. 8 year old ~ "It's behind that truck." There are several trucks, so I ask, "What color is the truck?" 8 year old ~ "It's the Ford." SIGH... Finally, his GMC rolls up, and it is, wait for it...Red! A color that you would think most kiddos would be able to readily identify. Sheesh! Next little girl in line, same scenario. Shockingly, I have had only one child 8 years old or below that knew the color of their vehicle. The following is how That went down. Me ~ "Do you see your car?" 6 year old ~ Points, and says, "It's right there! Here we go again, I think. Me ~ "What color is it?" 6 year old ~ "It's white." Halleluja!! Except, there are Five white vehicles all in a row. I decide to switch tactics, as all of the kiddos seem to know what Kind of vehicle they drive. Me ~ "What kind of car is it? Is it a car, a truck, an SUV?" 6 year old ~ "It's the white one!" YIKES! Three white vehicles pass, none of which stop at our cone. There are two more rolling toward us. One is a Jeep. As I drive a Jeep, I definitely knew what That one was. Me ~ "Is it the Jeep?" 6 year old ~ "No. It's the WHITE one!" Guess what rolls to a stop for said kiddo?! You guessed it...the Jeep! |
