Vacation
Another year has reached its end
And school is out once more.
No children’s voices in the hall
No footsteps on the floor.
No more bells to start a class
Or call the wanderers in.
No more harried teacher’s voice
To be heard above the din.
But we’re all ready for a rest,
As we call “good-bye” to all.
One last sound echoes through the door—
“I’ll see you in the fall.”
School will be starting here on Thursday. I have to admit that I have mixed feelings about this momentous occasion. I will be able to claim control of my house again but it seems like the school year just ended last week. This summer has gone by waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too fast.
I hope everyone has had a good summer and built a lot of memories with families and friends. My family has recorded new memories—some good and some bad. But isn’t that what life is made of?
A little girl came home from school and said to her mother, “Mommy, today in school I was punished for something that I didn’t do.”
The mother exclaimed, “But that’s terrible! I’m going to have a talk with your teacher about this … by the way, what was it that you didn’t do?”
The little girl replied, “My homework.”
