miscommunications

We started our co-op school this week. The kids liked it but we had a bit of miscommunication that was funny. For one, I signed up Simone for a Flamenco dancing class. She was a little skeptical about taking it. I didn't understand why until yesterday when she was standing around on one leg trying to figure out how to dance. She thought I had enrolled her in a flamingo dance class. ah - ha

The second miscommunication involved Roen, whose Chess class was canceled. He was disappointed. I told him not to worry as there would be a make-up class instead and he looked so appalled and said he didn't want any make-up class. I was a little baffled until I realized he was thinking make-up as in cosmetics rather than make-up as in a substitute class. he he
