Today is the last day of Dr. Seuss week at my kids' school and I couldn't resist. My own son (blue shirt in the second photo) had absolutely no clue who it was, and still wasn't quite convinced 10 minutes after I arrived. LOL
 
I was ready for any question with jokes and prepared rhymes. Lots of smiles this morning. ;-)

| It is so refreshing to see parents (especially Dad's) taking an interest in early education to help out a class or school. Props for the great costume, taking time out of your day for the kids, and sharing the experience with us. |

That's awesome shannon!
Plus, it's always cool to get extra miles out of props you got for a photo! :-) |

My wife took the pics ("Take some pictures, if you please. Just press this button and I'll say cheese.")
One kid said he didn't think I was a real cat. I said I didn't think he was a real kid.
Another pointed out that I didn't have a tail, so I held up the book and said I had LOTS of tales.
When kids pointed and stared, I'd point back and say, "Omigosh! Look at THAT!"
I dropped paper and apologized for the kitty litter.
One of the kids studying Dr. Seuss said he thought I was dead. I told him that was just a story.
This went on for over an hour. ;-) |

Those are great responses, I love your quick wit. I would have probably just said "Oh Ya, well, um, ah, look at the book and shut up kid..." |

| That kid on the right in the first picture seems to be touching you to make sure you're real. |

There was a class in the library, so I popped in and asked, "Has anyone seen my book?" ;-P
I liked the laughs, I loved the cheers
but I still have glue upon my ears. :-(

Maybe your kid really knew it was you but didn't want to admit it?
;-)
Good stuff! |

Yeh Shannon, give up photography and become a FULL TIME cat in a hat I'm not 100% sure but I think you might even earn more money at it...
Great call and answers, "I don't think you're a real kid" too funny hahahaha

My 6 year old just saw your photos and said 'I wish The Cat In The Hat could visit us, but we would be all freaked out'!!!! Too cute.
