Demons Are Forever: Confessions of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom
“I wanted to talk to David, but the vice-principal (who’d heard about my race through the halls toward the gym) had magically appeared and seemed none too happy about our little visit to the school.
She informed me that Mr. Long had AP classes for the rest of the afternoon, and that she’d be happy to give him a message to call me at the end of the school day. I smiled sweetly and asked her to please do that.
Then I told her that I was taking Allie home for the rest of the day. A family emergency....
I signed a yellow form that would presumably be shoved into Allie’s permanent record, and then agreed ever so politely when they made me promise—in the event of future emergencies—to go to the office first rather than racing through the halls and “working the students up into a tizzy.”
I’d witnessed nothing close to a tizzy, but I agreed anyway. I’d learned a long time ago that it was best to simply smile politely. Do what you need to do, of course. But always smile politely when you apologize.MoreLess
