oy vey...........

ok, so i am borrowing straight from the l.o........though i am sure that the term sprung from the lips of jewish mothers as they watched their sixth grade daughters leave for school in curious costumes..............ones that not only don't match, but don't fit physically and don't even make sense fashionwise.......she wanted to wear alternatively boots......bluejean jacket with short-shorts (it is august, we reminded......) but she insisted on bluejeans with lower leg adornment that remind me (at least me) of woodstock gone crazy...............this on top of the fact that our daughter has told her new homeroom teacher to call her by her initials....c.c...........because there is another cayle in the 6th grade, and she doesn't want the teachers to be confused..............i repeat....oy vey............and then there is the boy who calls..........the boy she will not be going 'out' with..........no eleven-year-old girl needs to go 'out' with anybody........she thinks i am being mean.......hey....i lead with my mean card.....no deception here.............she did condescend to spend yesterday trying to remind herslef of the multiplication tables......we insisted that her 6th grade teacher would expect her to know these the first day....that this was a skill that she was expected to master in the 5th grade, and that there would not be a grace period on this subject................but of course, we were just being mean............i believe the term used for math is evil, not just mean.................oh vey........................
