Me: Jesse, what's wrong?
Jesse: (Still crying) I don't want to go on a field trip.
Me: What? You are going on a field trip? With your class? (I'm thinking, I didn't know anything about a field trip).
Jesse: Yes. With my class.
Me: (Very confused by all the tears about a field trip that I didn't know about)
Jesse: Today we watched a movie at school about a fire on a bus. (Then cries even harder again).
Me: Jesse, did you watch a movie at school about how to be safe on a bus in case there WAS a fire when you go on a field trip?
Jesse: Yes.
Wonder how many traumatized Kindergarteners there are tonight after watching the routine bus safety video? Thank goodness I knew about this from all the years Damien watched it or I would've been on the phone with the school.
My poor Jesse. It was hard not to laugh at his genuine fear. I told him not to worry, Mom and Dad will be on the field trip with you and gave him a hug.
