I had no idea what Sadie's school plans were either, I had to call and I asked other mothers what the deal was. Plus, we missed our open house b/c we were late, I showed up and the teacher was packing up. Ooops. Turns out Dou Tang is known to all Canadians, except those from Newfoundland. Matt had no idea what it was until he went to university. They are a little different in NF - playing hookie is called "going on the pip" or "pipping off" - I know, how ODD is that?? Have fun in Vancouver - wish I was there too. sigh. groan. cry. snif. whine. cry again. xoxdaph Too funny – don’t worry, you’re not alone.
