Mom & The Mummy
The first graders here are all studying ancient Egypt. Boy rulers, jewels, nose hooks, mummies, pyramids, a mysterious alphabet – as Julia said as she showed me her classwork, “Mom, this stuff is cool.”
Rachel describes me as a “dumtard” when it comes to crafts. (sigh) The truth hurts. I am. Fortunately for our family, she’s really, really good at anything requiring a hot glue gun, as evidenced by Julia’s shoebox sarcoghagus covered in faux jewels and plastic coins and personalized in first grade hieroglyphics. A magazine paper and gauze mummy slumbered inside. Rachel is considering hosting a new TV show, “P*mp My Sarcoghagus.”
After we parents admired their classwork and crafts (note the head gear, colorful collars and white pillowcase robes), we enjoyed a stirring rendition of “A Song of Egypt,” sung to the tune of Frere Jacques.
That mom must be in da-Nile.
