My Dad’s Smile
My dad just smiled at me from the front of his class. He’s a science teacher and has been teaching his seventh graders about compressed air safety. He asked me to come in today and I’m still not really sure why. I think that I’m going to find out soon. He hasn’t yet told the kids who I am and they keep looking at me. I know that they’re wondering why I’m here, so I guess I’m not the only one. I’m still trying to understand what my dad and science has to do with my being a painter but I guess I’ll find out soon enough.
