Today was our first day back from Spring Break and contrary to expectations, I invited students to tell the class something awful that happened over the vacation.
Oh my... there was certainly no shortage of misfortune: they recounted all sorts of falls and scrapes and bangs and bruises; there were tales of long car rides with unruly siblings, games lost at the last minute, vagabond pets, cousins who wouldn't leave, sightseeing in the pouring rain, parents who forced their children out of bed for all manner of sunrise services, grandparents who insisted that reading at the table was rude, and television shows that simply disappointed.
Fortunately, those were the worst of it, and after all that, they couldn't very well complain about being back at school, could they?
I think they're probably happy to be back!

Yeah. They were.
