And now, a quick Keaton story

Perhaps it is a Trey story.

Tuesday night I had a late meeting, so Trey picked up the boys from Kids Klub and together they went to meet a family from Tucker's baseball team to try on baseball pants. They were a little short on time, so they were in a hurry.  I wasn't in the car, but I've heard the story and I imagine it went something like this:

TREY AND TUCKER AND KEATON ARE ALL TALKING AT THE SAME TIME ABOUT SCHOOL AND HOW THEIR DAYS WENT AND LEMONADE DAY AND KIDS KLUB AND HOMEWORK AND SUCH AND HURRY UP!

At some point, Keaton says matter-of-factly, "Dad, my whole class got red today!"

Trey responds, "Awesome!"

Later that evening, we sat around the dinner table to eat and visit. It's during this time that we usually go through Tucker's homework with him and make a plan for when he needs to do it, and we go through Keaton's daily folder and ask him questions about his favorite part of the day.

Unfortunately, I opened Keaton's daily folder to see a red sad face, and a note from the teacher that the whole class had a bad day and continued to scream and run around when they were told to stop.

"Keaton!" I questioned, "What on earth happened in your class today?  Your folder says you were all being very disrespectful to your teacher. What do you have to say about this?"

Keaton popped a bite of food in his mouth and shrugged nonchalantly, "I already told Dad. He said it was awesome."

Awesome.
