Spy Work Disguised as Kindness

Day 349

I think volunteer work is a great act of kindness so today I helped out at my son's school.  I chaperoned the 6th grade dance.

Oh who am I trying to fool?  I did it so I could spy on my son.  I asked him if it was OK with him and he said sure of course it was, why wouldn't it be.  He's 12, and apparently doesn't realize that in a year or so, my mere presence will be a huge embarrassment to him.  But for a little while longer at least, I can use my cloak of kindness to monitor the sixth grade social life.
