Allyson, the Personal Assistant.

Allyson's school had its annual Spring Carnival last night. We all had a great time until the raffle, where none of us won anything and Allyson got really upset. Oh well.

We had this conversation the other day:

Allyson: So, I'm supposed to bring treats for my birthday on May 28th. Since my birthday is in, you know, July.
Me: I know when your birthday is. That's the day before your big field trip, isn't it? (Her class is going to tour the police station, then to the library, then a picnic in the park.)
Allyson: Yep. Your first field trip of Kindergarten! (I didn't go on the first one to the apple orchard, per Allyson's request - "I need to have my own adventures" - but I wasn't missing this one.)
Me: Okay. So, does Miss Sheehan know you're bringing treats in that day?
Allyson: Oh, don't worry. She'll email you with the details.

Just... what? (And so far, no email.)

And, Garin strikes again:

I was in the living room and Ben and Allyson were chatting in the kitchen. I suddenly hear:

Allyson: But Garin SAID it!
Ben: No, Allyson, I don't think that's true.
Me: What?
Ben: Allyson says Garin told her that if you cry too much, you get a headache and then you throw up.
Me: Uh, Allyson? Remember this is the kid that tried to tell you his dad was John Cena.
Allyson: Oh. Right. John Cena's not his dad. I guess he lied again!
Ben: This Garin kid doesn't sound like a reliable source of information.
Allyson: Nope. I won't ask him things anymore.

She has also (somewhat adorable, mostly annoyingly) been on a SAVE THE PLANET kick ever since they talked about Earth Day in school. I have to recycle the cans and reuse the glass jars for things and who cares if it's 38 degrees in May WE HAVE TO WALK TO SCHOOL BECAUSE IF WE DRIVE IT WILL DIRTY THE AIR!

On a side note, what is up with this weather?!
