Hannah’s Pep Rally

Hannah has been in cheerleading camp this summer (her idea, not mine), and today they had a pep rally to show everyone what they’ve learned. So, I left work early and got to daycare about 10 minutes before the pep rally was supposed to start. When I drove into the parking lot, I saw they were already outside, and thought maybe they were practicing. But, when I got inside, I was told they started a 4:00 instead of 4:30 like I thought. I couldn’t believe I messed up the times, but I hurried outside and caught the last routine of their pep rally, and I got to see Hannah get her certificate for completing the camp. As soon as it was over, I heard another mother say she thought it started at 4:30, too, and she had missed most of the pep rally. I didn’t think much of it, so I went and picked up Zachary from his room. He had bumped his head again today – I swear he must have the hardest head, because it never seems to bother him. I was about to walk out the front door when the assistant director said they were going to do the pep rally again. Apparently, they had printed up two sets of fliers, one set for 4:00 and one set for 4:30, and had accidentally mixed the fliers together. So, about half of the parents got the 4:00 flier and the rest of us got the 4:30 flier. The cheerleading coach apologized to all of us, and the 7 girls whose parents missed it the first time, did their routines again.
