Uh, hi, this is Burt Hummel. I'm Kurt Hummel's dad. He's in first grade, in Mrs. Kleinschmidt's class. Our number is 824-0068. Uh, 419 area code, of course. I'm calling because…. Kurt's mother passed away unexpectedly yesterday afternoon. It's not in the papers yet. Tomorrow maybe. Kurt will be out of school for at least 2 weeks, with […muffled] funeral. And we're just not ready to leave each other's sight just yet. Later this week maybe I'll call and get what he's missing, his aunt says the distraction will be good? But right now I just can't…. I'll call again when I can. But he's, he's a real bright kid, I know he won't be behind for long.
[muffled]
Yeah sport, I'm coming. Why don't you see if your grandma needs anything, OK?
Uh, call if you have any questions, but we're real busy here and you might not hear back right away. Thanks for understanding.
