Calendar Reading 101

Earlier this week one of my kids had a dental appointment. It was scheduled on the big "family calendar" kept on Mom's desk. So, she awoke early and we dutifully left the house at 7:30. I dropped her off at the dentist office and drove off.

A few minutes later I was back home, and the phone rang. "Daddy, my appointment isn't until tomorrow."

Really? How did that happen?

We thought that she had it right. Oops, she mis-read the calendar. A day early.

Oh well, back we go to get her.

And the next day, we took her again.

A pain to do that, but it was an honest mistake.

What's a parent to do?

It made me smile.
