It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

My daughter and all the other kids are headed back to school tomorrow.

And what’s that sound you hear? That’s me, folks --- tap dancing around the house. How could I not during the most wonderful time of the year.

I wish I could send my cats to school, too.
Aside from its educational purpose, schools were created to keep kids busy (summers are very long and eventually the kids get very bored) and off the streets.

And for preserving the sanity of parents.

So as I tap dance around the house, I’m reminded of the hilarious commercial below from Staples. The first time I saw it, I laughed so hard, tears started rolling down my cheeks.



It’s truly the most wonderful time of the year, isn’t it?

    1. I loved going to school when I was young. In high school, I hated the academic side, but loved going for the social aspects.

  4. Your post today reminds me of a friend...he had just retired from the education field and was spending the first morning of school out in his boat on the lake fishing....he saw the school bus come up the road, the kids get loaded up while their mothers waved and blew them kisses...once the school bus was out of sight, the mothers started cheering, whistling and laughing! Thanks for bringing me a smile today, Martha.

  7. Now I"m retired from education, back to school has a whole new meaning for me. It means I don't have to get up and pack a lunch. But it also means I can go shopping during the week and not encounter groups of kids at the malls and stores.
