Open House

Our first open house is tomorrow night. I have mixed, not-so-great emotions (fear, anxiety, nervousness etc.) each year because of the following things:

1. Parents who speak to me completely in Spanish after I have spent all summer not speaking Spanish. After a summer in N.H. this is even more true since I saw no people of any color for several weeks.
2. Parents who say, "I took X years of X language and I only remember blah."
3. Parents who say, "The only words I know in Spanish aren't appropriate to say...ha ha ha."


Okay, it's not that bad, and open house does get me excited about the year ahead. I understand that folks are just trying to find some common ground, and I do appreciate that.
