Gosh

Received a call from the kids school few minutes ago. I am automatically in a panic mode the moment I see the school number in the caller id. My mouth suddenly felt very dry and even the usual Hello sounded like Jello. Why do I get stressed up, you might ask?
For those who don't know, this school year alone(read 6 months), I had to take my son twice to the emergency department. And I know the school would only call me, if there is a real emergency!
This is how the conversation with the school secretary went this morning

Me: Jello
She: Oh hi, Can I speak to Sarah?
Me: Sarah
She: Yes, Sarah
Me: me, Sarah
She: Oh! Sarah, I am calling to let you know that Yaya has been nominated to read literature this summer at the special school for gifted children
I was trying to see which part of the body my son got hurt this time, so I didn't understand anything the lady spoke
She: Sarah are you there?
Me: yes
She: You are aware that, Yaya will have to go to the other school
I was trying to figure out why Yaya has to go to the other school? Are they transferring my poor baby, because of her horribly naughty brother? How dare they?
Me: Why Yaya has to go the other school?
She: You know the gifted Children program is run by the school board in the other school
Me: What gifted child program?
She: The one your daughter is nominated to attend. You know the program run by the school board for gifted Children?
Me: What?

Only then did I understand that there is nothing wrong with my son and the call was actually a congratulatory call. I am sure the school secretary would be thinking how could such an intelligent child be born to such a stupid mother!!!
I am wondering too!
