Hitting Close to Home

When I checked Kai out of school today he was pleased to find out we wouldn't be gone long.  "Good," he said, "because I  LOVE school.  School is like . . . hmmm  . . . school is like my girlfriend."

So Michael spent the rest of the morning listing the ways that school is in fact like a girlfriend.

• They demand a lot of time.
• Even when your not together you're still expected to do certain things
• They have an honor roll and detention.
• They have authority figures that ruin all your fun.
• You get in trouble when you're late.
• If you don't show up at all they call.

But, as Michael pointed out, at least school gives you the holidays and week-ends off.
