Ms. Pfeifer?


When did this happen? When did I go from Kenzie to Ms. Pfeifer?

Today my friend, Caleb, came over from elementary school to visit Milligan. We were reading From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Which Caleb so observantly pointed out, is an obnoxiously long title for a book.

Before the kids got to Milligan, Professor Bowman handed out name tags for the "adult students." Mine said Ms. Pfeifer. When did the switch happen? Obviously I missed that transformation. I had already told Caleb my name was Kenzie, so I didn't make him call me Ms. Pfeifer (most of all because it weirded me out.)

Our Goodbye Book Celebration went well. We traced Claudia and Jamie's footsteps through NYC and the MET using pamphlets I picked up during my visit with the boy. Even though I'm now apparently Ms. Pfeifer, Caleb still seemed to have fun... and no, it wasn't "teacher fun."
