Last week of 6th grade
I can’t believe Jack’s first year of middle school is coming to an end. 3 days left. This has to be one of the fastest years I’ve seen… Is it because I’m old now?? I think we’ve just been so busy that we haven’t come up for air in the last 9 months. Soccer, taekwondo for us both, trips to NYC every other weekend, working, etc etc. it’s seriously a blur. I looked up and Jack grew two more inches, another shoe size, and weighs about 100 pounds. OMG.
When I asked him what he will miss most about 6th grade, he said:
Jack: Nothing. Nothing at all. Well I could say I missed Mr. T, (his math teacher), but I won’t say that.
When I asked him what he hated most about 6th grade…
Jack: Mr. T. (Again the math teacher.).
What is your best memory?
Jack: Meeting all my new friends.
What words of advice would you give to the 5th graders heading to middle school next year?
Jack: It sucks, good luck. Don’t get lost and don’t get on Mr. T’s bad side.
Sigh. I guess that’s all I’m getting out of him. Happy summer everyone!
The best way to save your energy
Jack: I was thinking about wearing the same clothes every day. I should do that.
me: You mean like a uniform?
Jack: No, I men exactly the same clothes. Sighhh, I just don’t want to waste all that brain power picking out what I’m gonna wear.
Yes… This was said with a straight face and a serious tone. It was a real consideration!
Yikes.
And in other news, I’ll show you some photos from Jack’s birthday sleepover. He turns 10 this Sunday omg. 10!
Jack: Mom, can you believe in 5 months I’ll be in middle school?
me: That’s June. You start middle school in September.
Jack: Well I’ll be OUT of 5th grade and technically in middle school then. Can i take my iPod to school then?
me: No.
Jack: When can I have a phone??
me: When you’re old enough to drive yourself to the store.
Jack: NOT FUNNY and REALLY annoying!
