Today, I squeezed 10 high school girls in a minivan that only had 4 functioning seats. It was like a clown car when we pulled up and unloaded at Panera. As we passed a cop on the way there, I had to direct half of them to duck down and the other half to act normal. The didn't seem to mind. But seriously, what teenager minds undermining authority?
Oh it's good to know I'm not the only one breaking the law by cramming the teens into a too small car. I was at a bday party a month ago and we did a scavenger hunt. This time I was the extra body sitting in the hatch of an SUV. We got pulled over and it was the 17 year olds who were hiding me under a gorilla costume. I went unnoticed by the cop, but what could I have even said, "Sorry officer. Yes, yes. I know, I'm 28 years old."
Hey there! My name is Polly. I live in Columbia, Missouri and recently married to my wonderful husband, Austin.
I work as the Director of student ministries at a church called the Crossing. However, I claim that my unofficial job is herding cats and trying to fill a black hole of endless need. High school kids can be difficult, but despite its ups and downs, I love my job.
I have a lot of hobbies. They flex and flow but presently they are:
the outdoors, garage sales, reading, exercising, cooking, home projects, organizing things, and as of late, blogging. Hope you enjoy.
