Ebenezer Allen

Sunil's teacher has named a teddy bear in honor of our town founder, Ebenezer Allen. Every weekend Ebenezer spends the weekend at home with one of the students. On Sunday night the student writes about their adventures. I love these projects. Each child's weekends are so different from each other even in such a small community.

I had high expectations for our unique twist on the weekend but it was not to be. We made Eb stay behind in the car when we went out for dinner. Sunil did not attend fencing lessons so neither did Eb. Sunil didn't collect the canned food drive donations with his cub scout troop (because he was supposed to be fencing) and we forgot to take Ebenezer with us on our walk this morning. Sunil is not coming to Sheela's soccer game and we won't have to time to get to the library this weekend. This may well be the least interesting weekend of poor Eb's life.
