Substitute Mother?

Bridget & friends react as I pull out the camera during math class

Yesterday, Bridget's school called in desperate search for a substitute teacher because I used to do it quite often and even though I work now, I'm still down on the list. I told them I could do it if they couldn't find anyone. It turned out that I substituted for Bridget's 6th grade math and history classes. I wondered if she would mind having her mom in middle school.

Bridget told me yesterday not to take my camera in a tone of voice that implied that I should bring my camera. (Mothers understand this tone). So when I pulled it out in the last hour, I think she was kind of excited. I received a bit of feedback from her after school which used the words "best ever" and awesome. So I guess she doesn't need a substitute mother after all!
