Today I received THE.
Most. Amazing. Card. EVER.
Even from just the front, there were already two fancy
components: a sticker AND scented marker.
If I had to guess on the flavor I'd say purple sugar. But it gets far, far better.
Yes, Mariana made me a card with all nine Supreme Court Justices. And they are all saying something about me: Samuel Alito thinks I'm funny! Chief Justice Roberts thinks I'm a great teacher! I have taught Ruth Bader Ginsburg a lot! (All of our after school tutoring sessions have clearly been paying off.) Clarence Thomas says Ya!
broccoli, but it's nice to know that on this, at least, they're all in
agreement.
You see....our class went to the Supreme Court
yesterday. That's right - smack in
the middle of the case with the most hours scheduled for debate in 45
years. Yeah...the one with tons of
protesters. We didn't know when we
scheduled the trip that this would be the situation, but as we debated whether
or not to reschedule, I figured it would either be a really cool time to be
there, or we'd get swallowed up by a mass of protesters.
Turns out it was a really cool time to be there. We got to see some protesters but
avoided any swallowing up. We
learned all about the Court, got to sit in the courtroom, AND this place had
brochures. Eight-year-olds categorically
love brochures, pamphlets, free newspapers, and any other form of paper they can
get their hands on to read, look at, and then roll up to use as a
spyglass. We took a few ("But
we don't need a hundred"), some of which had photos of all of the
Justices. Perfect for our Supreme
Court scavenger hunt / thing to occupy us while we waited in line, and also
perfect, as it turns out, for making amazing cards.
It was a tough decision to boot out my previous best card ever from the number one spot, but this one was pretty excellent.

BEST.CARD.EVER. And I'm super jealous you were able to get in today. SUPER JEALOUS.
I mean....it really is. Don't be too jealous, though, Jess. You were there for the DC INSPECTOR GENERAL, don't forget. And for asking the mayor's deputy for a tissue....
