Eleanor is going on her first field trip today.  She had to have her lunch packed in a brown bag - I'll write her name on it with a black marker.  I'm imagining her climbing into a big yellow school bus to be hauled down to Indiana and how exciting that will be for her.  I had a flashback to my first experience of being on a field-trip-bus-ride and what that was like.  Can't wait to get home at the end of the day and talk to her about it.  I'll ask: "How was your field trip today?  What was it like?"  She'll say: "I don't remember anything"
