Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

If it’s Friday night, and it works out, we are with the Savas’ trying to eat straight off the grill.

Fresh tats.

(Foreshadowing)

Savannah and Derby’s grandma Cathey was celebrating a birthday, with a little rain.

It was an early night for us, we were off to NH the next morning for a week long vacation.

Last week I was a chaperone for Noah’s class trip to the Prospect Park Zoo. Before we left, Ms. Yelena briefed the kids on how they should act.

A surfeit of kids making faces into my phone.

A muster of kids on the bus.

A rafter of kids looking at something, I don’t remember.

A cartload of kids look at a congress of Hamadryas Baboons.

A romp of kids try to destroying bird eggs.

A rookery of kids drawing.

Bat anatomy (a group of bats is called a colony, boring).

A shoal of fish getting harassed by a skulk of kids.

Sea lion feeding.

Tseday’s sister. I don’t need a reason.

Then the rain started.

A cackle of kids eating lunch a shrewdness of adults hoped the rain would let up.

The rain didn’t let up. Downpour.

Heading home, and getting a little old for this…

Someone knows I’m blowing up his spot (telling him that he’s getting too big to be carried).

Chilling on the stoop with Richard, Susan, Wiley and Ryder.

“Stop kicking the ball in the street!” (repeat)

Ryder.

Rain. Not what Savannah, or her party planner (Aransas) wanted for a dance party.

But as always, Aransas out-did herself.

Savannah, with a fresh haircut, watching her room get ransacked by her friends.

Kate talking to DJ Andy Rock (if you couldn’t tell there was a Yo Gabba Gabba theme).

Chester in the bounce house.

Funny Honey, who lives below us, was there to do her magic (literally).
