We are back from dinner for a few minutes. The girls are telling riddles and jokes to each other with lots of giggles. We get a text another part of our group is ready for us to come over for make your own sundaes. We gather to walk over together and I notice one of my girls is wearing sunglasses.
Me: "E, do you know it's dark outside? Do you think you need to wear your sunglasses?"
E: "I'm hiding my ego!"
We all burst into laughter. High schoolers are clever, cute, and full of themselves. The best part was everyone laughed. This trip is about building a community. I hope moments like these will help them through their season.
Thank you Two Writing Teachers for organizing this Slice of Life Story Challenge.
Thanks for the giggle first thing this morning!!
