post the first

Hello people. Well, I have thought many times about having a blog, and I'm still not sure it's a good idea. However, I think that having a specific topic like this will help. So, on with the show!

My first story is not the first one that happened to me, but I feel that it must come first, to explain the name. As you might know, Mrs. Driftwood is not my real name. It's Mrs. Sherwood. But in a junior kindergarten class, what does real really mean? They're too little to be able to remember something as tricky as Sherwood. So, a bunch of kids were calling me Mrs. Woods (an obviously simpler alternative), and one particularly adorable one was calling me Mrs. Driftwood (not at all simple, and in fact quite surprising - you wouldn't even expect a four year old to know the word driftwood!). It was hilarious. Too hilarious and cute to correct, so it continued on throughout the day. And now it's stuck...at least in bloggerland. Of course there was also the kid who would scream out in frustration from across the room "It's Mrs. Sherwood!!"
