Is 8 am too early to ask for a re-do on the day?

Some woman thought I bumped into her car in the school parking lot. I didn't.

She yelled at me. And later apologized.

But it was a crappy way to start the day.

...

Today though? Today is the kindergartner's field trip. She has been talking about it for the last two weeks. Every day.

The camera battery is charged. I am pumping myself up, after all they could only take three parents and my name was drawn out of the proverbial hat.

Now, to let some of her unabashed enthusiasm rub off on me.
