i'm scared of the red ink!

i have to go to the school today and give a spelling test. that's easy enough, as long as i can keep the little buggers calm & quiet through the process.

...but I have to see "the sarge".

(that's the name we've given this year's 3rd grade teacher. it fits beautifully.)

why am i scared? because i accidentally blew off the last test and got a little red ink nasty gram from her that wasn't really for me specifically (but it applied to me) about letting her know if we can't make it.

i thought they outlawed teachers using red ink?
