Sebastian's first walk home
Sebastian's bus arrived early, before Teri had gone to pick him up. They told him he was a big boy and could walk to our house (it's half a block away from the stop). He was nervous, but made the walk; he was at the door when Teri stepped out.
Teri was furious. She wanted me to call the school to complain, but I thought it wiser to just ask the driver and her assistant not to do that again. If we complain to the school, their jobs could be jeopardized. And I don't want them to have a grudge against us or Sebastian! But am I being too diplomatic? He's nine, but he's awfully big and (usually) mature for his age.
