It Happened Part 1

I was driving back to work from Lowes on Friday, in deep thought about whether or not we should get a Bose home theater and my cell phone rang. Of course I didn't catch the call due to driving and my phone was buried in my purse of death! I finally got my phone from the bottom of the purse of death, looked at the caller i.d. and I see that the school called. Usually it is Zachary so I never call right back, but I did decided to listen to the voice mail and it was my sons teacher. "Ann Marie, Zach is not doing so well right now. Please call us back." My heart sank, the build up to an explosion was in the works and it finally happened. I called the school back and when I finally got through to the class room some other lady answered and 1/2 assedly told me what was going on. She never really gave me the information I wanted. So I hung up and proceeded to go back to work to handle this at my desk.

I was almost at work and my phone rang again. This time I knew who it was by the ring, it was Zachary. I answered the phone and he is hysterical on the other line, crying and very, very upset. I told him I would be there in a little while to get him he just needed to hang in there. I got back to work, called back the school and the same lady I hung up on answered the phone again. Ugh, how can I get away from her?? At this point and time I didn't want to talk to her and ask for his teacher. She kept wanting to talk to me and I finally said "If you don't put Nicole on the phone I will hang up on you again."

She put Nicole on the phone and I told her I did not need to deal with someone who seemed clueless to the situation. She said that I needed to come and get Zachary, that he could not go on the bus. So I left work wondering what the hell happened and why Zachary has taken a turn for the worse the last few months. Is there something wrong in that class, is the bad behavior of other children rubbing off, is he fed up?
