Too quick to say "yes"

Miss E called me yesterday afternoon to ask me if I would take her to her physician appointment Friday morning. Something or other is wrong with her toe. I said, "sure." I mean, I don't have classes, and my office, her school, and the doctors office are all within a mile of each other.



Then this morning I thought I should check in with her social worker and mom. Their response? "Appointment? What appointment?"



Bad Yondalla!



Actually, they are not angry with me, and I did say I would only take her if they give her permission to leave school for this. There is also the problem, which has happened before, of Miss E forgetting that the doctor won't see her without a responsible adult signing her in.



Ooops.
