Last Day of School

Today is the Last Day of School.

It's a bit of a waste of time, really. What do they do for half a day? Sign yearbooks, say good-bye to those whom they won't see for the summer, chat with teachers cheerfully (for once) because there is no tension over missed assignments or bad grades or general unruliness, all the while looking forward to the final bell that signals The End.

Then they run off home to celebrate by doing the same things they would normally be doing on any other day off, namely eating and sleeping and playing.

It will be a few days before the novelty wears off, but wear off it will, and then they'll be getting bored.

Good thing we have a pool nearby...
