What you don't want to hear when you drop your child off at preschool

Mondays and show and tell are just not a good mix for our family. Last week, Chase was in tears on the way to school because he couldn't find the toy he wanted to bring. So last night and this morning, I reminded him that he needed to have his show and tell item in his backpack and ready to go. While I was brushing his teeth this morning, Chase assured me he was all set. Good, good, we have to go, get in the car, I have a meeting, etc. etc. I'm stressed because I have a conference early in the morning. I drop the two older kids off at school, drive to St. Andrews, and get Chase down to his classroom. As I'm herding him to the room where the kids play until school starts, Chase makes his announcement:

"I brought a gun for show and tell!"
