The only information Sage volunteered enthusiastically was which girl had the same lunchbox as her, and which of her friends had also brought a ham sandwich to eat. (There were three, by the way. One had no mayonnaise, though.)
Sage did tell me proudly about how she “translated” for her class when her Spanish teacher asked Sage what “favorito” meant. That’s my girl—rockin’ the cognates.
In spite of Sage’s reluctance to give me a play-by-play of the previous seven hours, I know the day must have been a success because she and Eliza shut themselves in their bedroom and organized “School” for a bunch of stuffed and furry (but oh, so attentive) pupils.
By eavesdropping on the bedroom session of “School” I found out that Eliza was the appointed “Teacher of Washing Hands” and Sage (I mean “Mrs. Sage”) was the teacher for all other subjects.
Oh, and for the record, Sage didn’t appreciate it when I put Lily’s dress on my head (think hairnet) and pretended to be the lunch lady calling them to come for snack time. (I'm glad she didn't think to make me a card that I could turn from green to yellow for my little stunt.) That Mrs. Sage sure runs a tight ship.

Janel, you're a riot! That lucky teacher to have Mrs. Sage in her classroom. She's a prepared pupil any teacher would covet!
I wish I'd seen the hairnet!!! Oh how funny, and I love that they played school with their stuffed animals. They have enough probably to fill a whole school! How hilarious that the word she translated was "favorito". Jacob talks about how Sage speaks Spanish all the time, by the way.
At first I was a little concerned this might mean Owen and Sage were no longer betrothed, but was totally redeemed imagining you wearing a toddler's dress on your head as a lunch lady hairnet. You know I laughed out loud on that one! Eden even asked me what was so funny!
You are hilarious, Janel! You're so good to play right along with them, even if they don't like it at the time. :) I think you need to share a picture of that lunch lady hairnet. . . . .
as long as no hair gets through the hairnet, the mushy corn dogs you serve will be up to par with the awesome HOT LUNCHES at school! you, eliza and sage are one big hoot.
I love that you played lunch lady. Just be careful. Once I pulled out a pair of undies and put them on Amy's head as a joke. From then on if she sees a pair of undies she tries to put it on her head--clean or dirty, she doesn't care. Just beware!
Max does the same thing when he comes home from school. What did you do today? I don't know. What did you like? Everything. I thought those were teenage answers!
