Story of the Day 5/5/2010

I have been unpacking Aaron. Well, not Aaron, but his things. Not all of his things.
He unpacked his clothes, and his books, and his posters.
I was left to unpack his dirty laundry and the two containers of bathroom things that he left in the front hallway.
Bathroom things means his allergy medicines, his Tylenol, his body wash and toothpaste, and a note that was tucked in next to an extra tube of toothpaste that was still in its cardboard box.
The note was a card that had been removed from its envelope and , supposedly, read.
It was from the Academic Advising Department.
‘Congratulations” and then it continued to notify him that he had made the Dean’s List for the fall semester.
At about this moment , he came walking through the hallway.
I held it out to him, “Aaron, you should have told us about this or showed us the note!”
He looks at me, then he looks at the note which he had carefully opened and tucked into his caddy, “What is that?”
