Perils of omitting the subject line

I tell my students all the time, if you don’t include a detailed and descriptive subject line, your email is likely to go straight to my junk mail folder, whether I send it there or whether the email spamming software does. William learned this lesson in life—not email—the hard way early this morning when he was hollering Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy while I was packing for the beach and talking on the phone. I kept hollering back I’m on the phone Will. After a while he switched over to hollering for Daddy, who was outside putting the kayak on the car. He needed to tell me his problem. The resulting email exchange with Aunt Shari.

Well, now I know why he didn't come to see where we were. Because he was stuck on the top of Laura's bunk bed hollering for somebody to help him get down. Sigh. :)
