I always thought it sounded so gross when I would hear a Mom say with all fervor..."I CAN'T WAIT FOR SCHOOL TO START!". My marshmallow center would shrink a little as I gazed lovingly at my beautiful boys playing on the floor. How could anyone be so callous? How could they not adore having their progeny right where they could see them, and smash their little faces with kisses anytime they wanted? Why would you want to shuttle your little darlings off, when you could be with them every waking moment kissing their chubby, dimpled feet and tickling their distended milk-filled bellies....Ah yes, the good old days...
I have discovered that these feelings fade as your children grow into smallish adults. Little people with all the same nasty attitudes, cranky mornings and "I'm board" afternoons that full-on adults have. At this point, I think it must be said that I have considered parking them in front of the school with their back packs and some canned goods for the next two weeks.
I mean, don't think that I'm unfeeling...I would drive by a couple of times a week when I get coffee and check on them...for goodness sakes, I'm not a monster.
Well, anyway...I let you know if the State of Michigan considers this "Self-Defense" or "Child Endangerment"...stay tuned.
