3. Fashionably famous kid.
My finest parenting moment is when I sent my son to daycare in a jean jumpsuit and then at pickup, his shy teacher whispered “the jean jumpsuit was a sensation” and informed me that word had spread throughout the school and teachers were traveling from other classrooms to see it

8. An emotional reunion with a teacher.
My high school English teacher contacted me with condolences today. She remembered Mum and Dad because they were so nice to her at parent-teacher nights when she was a baby teacher ... in 1984! People may not remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel.

Principal: I just wanted to touch base with you. Your daughter was baiting seagulls into the playground with gummy worms and actually caught one; Like in her arms. It did bite her—not hard, but I needed to inform you that we filed an incident report
18. "This little heart on my hand is called a cuddle button. Since my wife died last year, my 4-year-old daughter has hated being away from me. When I drop her off at school, her teacher draws this on our hands. Every time we press it, it hugs the other. It helps her feel connected to me."
19. That must be wholesome!
The mom of one of my students just sent me a a video/message through the app we use for school saying, “Sorry to bother you on a Saturday night, but {insert student’s name here} REALLY wanted you to see her swim without her floaties for the first time.”
