“I want to invite my whole school”.

Those are not the words you expect to hear when your kiddo says they want to talk about their next birthday party…but Miss Sarah had an idea.  She was working on a plan. –>My first reaction was to laugh and say “yeah, right…”  seriously, what kid wouldn’t dream of 500+ kids coming over and all those presents?

They NEVER even talked to Sarah! They […]
