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.

One of the other mummies – er – mothers asked as we were leaving, “How come we never did fun stuff in school?”   Whattttt?  She didn’t consider duck’n'cover drills festive?   Or playing kickball, softball and dodgeball while wearing a dress – that wasn’t a rush for her?

That mom must be in da-Nile.
