Sally's World

Finally, Deion has revealed his well protected 'secret superhero identity'….Yellow Lightning!

Never heard of him you may say…no…me neither, because he is merely a figment of Deion’s rather over active imagination.

Today is Red Nose Day, and the kids schools always do something to raise money for Comic Relief…it always involves dressing up, which means I always end up with pretty horrifically scarred fingertips, as I am far from the handiest person with a needle and thread.

So Jordan and Robyn were easy, they are older and in secondary school, so they just had to pay some money and wear their own clothes (preferably red) and wear a red nose!

But Deion’s school decided on a superhero theme, and get this….they encouraged the children to use their imagination and come up with a superhero of their own…about ten mums groaned…I was one of them…I am all for a good cause and I love dress up…but prefer the type you can buy off the shelf and something that doesn’t involve me bleeding profusely from the fingertips.

So Deion wanted to be ‘Yellow Lightning’, a superhero who has the power to shoot lightning bolts from his fingers, he’s faster than a bolt of lightning and can channel electricity and use it for good…

I’ve posted some pictures of Deion all ready for school, he was so excited, he could barely sleep last night, he refused to wear a coat because it would ruin the look of his costume. He certainly drew a few glances as we went out to the bus…it was the lightning bolts on the customised wheelchair (oops ,sorry, lightningmobile) that did it.

One poor lady walked into the lamppost outside as Deion shot down the ramp at high speed (not his fault, it was his lightningmobile…it can’t go slow!!!)

So he’s off protecting civilians at school, while I bandage my fingers….

Totally adorable!

Todays smile!

SCHOOL DAY

The telephone rings in the principal's office at a school.

"Hello, this is Dunn Elementary," answers the principal.

"Hi. Jimmy won't be able to come to school all next week," replies the voice.

"Well, what seems to be the problem with him?" asks the principal.

"We are all going on a family vacation," says the voice, "I hope it is all right."

"I guess that would be fine," says the principal. "May I ask who is calling?"

"Sure. This is my father!"

Here are the top ten funniest excuses that parents send their kids to school with, perhaps a few of these parents should be back in school themselves!

1. Please excuse Lola for being absent. She was sick and I had her shot.

2. Jimmy has been absent yesterday because he had two teeth taken out of his face.

3. My daughter is under a doctor's care and should not take P.E. today. Please execute her.

4. Please excuse Jenny. She has been sick and under the doctor.

5. Sandra won't be in school a week from today. We have to attend her funeral.

6. Please excuse Holly from Jim today. She is administrating.

7. Kevin was absent from school yesterday because he was playing football. He was damaged in the growing part.

8. Amy could not come to school today because she was bothered by very close veins.

9. Please excuse Johnny for being. It was his father's fault.

10. Please excuse Jesse from school. He had very loose vowels
