Tay-Tay and Travis
TBG read the news on the chyron scrolling beneath one of his ESPN talking head shows. We called Little Cuter immediately.
Our daughter got to squeal (just a little) to us before she said that she couldn't wait to share the news with FlapJilly.
Um..... honey.... the kid's in middle school.
My guess is that someone discovered the news right away (a text? scrolling? an alert?) and the scream started there and quickly spread through the student body, releasing joy and love and I knew it would happen into the ether.
TBG and I have been imagining the wave of sound, the jumping up and down, the impossibility of teaching anyone anything until the good news has been properly processed.
She'll be excited when she gets home. There will be much hugging and Instagram scrolling. Joyful behaviors will occur.
Mom just won't be first.
After years of carefully curating the flow of information to her children, that has to be a bit of a shock.

MOM WAS FIRST. Phones are locked up during the school day and none of Flapjilly's friends have a phone (bless!) so I got to tell her while she was changing for softball! Tears and much much squealing and kvelling. A dream.
Too funny. I'm thinking our granddaughter probably didn't care, but you have piqued my interest enough to check later today. She too has her phone locked away in a pouch all day while at high school so I'll check in with her after she gets home.
Whatever brings joy is good with me.
YAY!!! Childhood lasts a little longer <3

There is video online of school officials interrupting the day to make the announcement - starting out in a very serious tone and giving way to laughter. Hope she has a good story to tell.

Leeya laughed at my question. Her friends are not Swifties but. she did hear during the school day and was quite happy. Although not a huge fan, she said it was interesting to follow her life and Leeya likes her music.
It's an all around happy event. I don't understand the griping.
