Kindergartners Take Over New York

"Mom, I have to tell you something. Brent told us very bad news today." I am not kidding that with those words and Delaney's serious tone, my heart stopped. I thought she was going to tell me something tragic. She went on to report that the other day, Brent went to McDonald's and learned that there is a mystery TMNT villain in New York City and her table (number 3?) is going to go there and find him. No one knows what he looks like and there are a lot of people in New York so they will need at least 3 days there. While visiting, they will also see Brent's Grandma. She made it clear that this trip must happen this year and everyone at the table plans on going. 

I was lucky to hear the story twice because she shared with me and then again with her dad and her sister. There are clearly more details to be worked out for this trip so she may be asking more questions tomorrow. Oh...how I wish I could hear this conversation. I am still laughing now as I think about how excited and serious she was while telling the story.
