The Jig is up...

Thanks to one of my funniest and most all over everywhere kids... I know what my surprise is (aka THANK GOD ... I mean tomorrow is going to be hard enough...The last thing I need is for there to be an unknown surprise factor stuck in there)... Now having been gifted with wonderful intuition from my mother I tend to catch on to when something is going on... Sometimes I try to deny it and sometimes I try to figure out whats going on... In terms of my surprise I had decided that I would just... wait and see what it is.. I mean really how harmless can 24 10 year olds and 1 34 year old be... Anyways so this morning after we picked up the kids from music I had to run a quick errand... When I got back into the classroom my ears were peaked (so to speak) but I couldn't figure out why... So we were beginning to set expectations for our greeting when "MR. ALVERSON... What do we do with the letters for Ms. Detmer?"...Class collective AHHHHHHH MARCUSSSSS "Marcus," Scott replied, "I don't know what you're talking about..." Clearly trying to get Marcus to pick up on what was going on... However, being the endearing child that he is... he totally didn't get it. AT ALL. It was pretty cute... But needless to say all the other kids were very very upset and just could NOT handle the fact that he had spoiled my surprise. For the rest of the day he was thoroughly hassled by his crew members for ruining my surprise... He was very upset and even talked to Scott to say if he thought I knew or not. To blanket the concerns of the class I had to make a statement somewhere along the lines of "I can't wait for my surprise tomorrow..."
