Well, I probably didn't do the best job of calm mom. I wish I could have taken your advice, Karen. I reassured Jaden in front of the principle and superintendent, but probably not in the best way. I basically said "Don't worry, they will not make this mistake again. Because if they do, I'll call the police and file a missing person report. The news and everybody would be out looking for you which would be very embarrassing to them and they would get into big trouble. So trust me they will make sure that you get on the right bus."

Jaden's laughing about it this morning. I think he's going to be ok. He told my husband "You should have seen mommy yesterday. She was crazy mad because my school is stupid and lost me again." My husband appologized to Jaden and Jaden said "That's ok daddy, mom felt so bad I got a new Santa hat and a slushie."

Reminds me of something...a friend of mine pulled her daughter out of a school because they left her at a zoo on a field trip. They didn't even realize that she was missing until they drove the hour back home. She was only in kindergarten and they found her wandering alone at the zoo.
