The Answer is Yes
Yesterday morning, I dropped off Peter for the beginning of his 8th grade year. Because he is in a new school, he was understandably concerned and anxious, so I gave him a big hug "for the first day of school."Peter looked at me and asked, "Will you give me a hug for the second day of school, and the third, and so on?"

A Texted String Between Parents
Last-minute schedule changes are SO difficult. Here's why:[BTW, Mr. W__ is the father of a Concordia music student, and is tutoring David in geometry. Mr. W__ had jury duty yesterday, but got off early and asked to tutor David on his way home.]
Jon: "Smoke on David's breath. Not yet addressed."
Mary: "Yuck"
J: "geometry at 2:45, IF I can find an AWOL son."
M: "Smoked, and then left. Double yuck"
J: "and Mr. W__ on the way..."
A few minutes later-
J: "David supposedly in tree all the time. Sarah is so imposed-on that it's impossible to tell if she actually checked. David's with the tutor now. On to the dentist...
M: "Oh my. Sounds like major stress to me"
J: "i might require therapy"
M: "Might?"
