ok, so there was a mysterious and lengthy message on the answering machine when i got home.................that required an adolescent interpretation of the garble and beeps and faint voices.......................it seems that a member of this household had his cellphone turned on in his pocket during lunch.......and it somehow managed to call home.............and our answering machine picked up such conversations as a junior soccer player saying something considered to be an ethnic slur......and another student taking umbrage at this comment.............granted, i could hardly understand the recording.....but the concept of a recorded conversation of a lunchtime debacle was downright entertaining.................though it did not make up for the news that a member of the senior class has been or will expelled for attending a soccer game under the influence..............my first thought was for his mother.....who is a dear person and undeserving of such an error on the part of her child...........and then for the student himself.....who has many talents and could have done well with scholarships......all this may be for naught because of poor choices.........so very sad..................
