Chance has started getting invited to more birthday parties from school this year. For the past few years, Chance didn't really get invited to the birthday parties since he lives in a different city from the other kids in his class. The parents of the other kids don't know Chance unless they help out in the classroom on a regular basis. Likewise, we don't know the parents and families of the kids in the classroom. I know the kids since I have volunteered in the classroom weekly in each of Chance's classes. I know a few of the moms through being on the PTA Board and helping with classroom holiday parties etc, but I don't know where anyone's house is, or anything like that.
This year Chance has been invited to 2 birthday parties from school so far. Both of them have been in public places like Chuck E. Cheese, a pizza eatery with video games, and various other kid activities. Chance has been so excited to be invited. I usually go and hang out somewhere nearby during the party as the locations are all 2 cities away in the same city where the school is so it is not worth it to go home and come back.
As Chance was talking excitedly about going to the birthday party yesterday, I was asking him about Antonio who invited him. Did Chance play with him at recess? Did he sit by him at school?
Then Chance got a smile on his face and said, "Antonio thought Katy was my sister!" Then he giggled.
Katy is the other deaf child in Chance's class and she also wears an implant. Antonio must have figured having the implants in common made them twins or at least siblings. I found that to be quite funny. Apparently so did Chance.
For the record, neither Chance's father or I are aware of Chance having a twin or a deaf sister with an implant:)
