My Daughter Speaks Again
My daughter really enjoyed her day as headmistress at school. She asked if her new school would have such a thing. I know they do, but I also know that the items at their auction go for way more than we could ever afford. So I asked her, "Why?"
"Well, because I was thinking," she told me. "If I ever get to do that again, I am going to proclaim anything but no homework."
I started to smile as I asked her, "How come?"
"Because we just ended up with more homework the rest of the week. It wasn't like the homework for that night just went away."
Aha! I think someone learned a little life lesson there. I guess that makes her day priceless.
