POOR IZZIE

Friday, October 23, 2009 This afternoon when I when I picked up Bailey and Jayden after school as is my want to do, Jayden had a long face and was rather grouchy. Bailey, as she always does, chimed in with, “Izzie isn’t talking to Jayden”; no explanation. Jayden in so many words told me to drop the subject and said that if he wants me to know anything he will bring the subject up. As we were waiting to pull out onto the road from the school parking lot, we saw Izzie walking down the sidewalk. She recognized my white Chrysler Town and Country minivan and look at us with a long face. A moment later she did the same thing. I waved and she waved back. Again she looked over her shoulder at us. Still Jayden said nothing. I took the kids home where they did whatever kids do until Corey called and asked us to meet him at Wal-Mart while he did his honey-do-list shopping. By this time Jayden was in good spirits and at the store he and Bailey were their usual over the top goofy nuts.
