Yesterday was the last first day of school for Michael and Lauren. Our Seniors were cool, calm and collected as we dropped them off at school.
Okay, no not really. Lauren was running behind in primping and was stressed and didn't get breakfast and then we didn't anticipate the traffic and they were almost late.
Luckily for them, they had already exited the car when Danny rolled down the window to hollar greetings out to the Principal: "Hey Mr. Williams! Have a great first day of school!" (And if he could have, Danny probably would have honked his horn too.)
Mr. Williams looking EXACTLY like the stereotypical uptight principal in his crisp white dress shirt and tie, smiled awkwardly back and probably thought:"Which parent is that?"
That evening Michael selected Outback as our destination for dinner to celebrate their first day. Lauren is very excited about her classes and Michael was less enthusiastic. He is glad to have his best buddy John in his lunch so all is good.
It was an interesting twist from last year as I asked: "So do you have homework?"
Michael: "Yes."
Lauren: "Hmmm. I don't know."
Let the academics begin.....
