First day back
Well, it is the first day of school around these parts and I found myself thinking back to "first days" of long ago. As a parent it is different experiencing this sort of start. I remember in high school thinking, "who will I know in my class so that I can sit near them?" and then "who will I eat lunch with?" In college and seminary I strictly looked for a seat at least in the back half of the room preferring the back row. Ahh, the memories.
Now…a little different. Go to meet the teacher; making sure she/he knows my kid is the best; hoping for nice boys and girls in their classes and that they don't do anything to embarrass us. So, as the conversation rolls around to, "how was your day?" The same response I always gave, "it was good." Then, like I was, they're off.
