Senior year
Yesterday was "Freshman Friday" at Tuvalu High.
Youngest escaped unscathed and had several exciting stories to tell about classmates being tortured by upperclassmen.
Was Middle part of these shenanigans I wondered?
Nope. He "sort of knew" it was happening but didn't participate.
He's a very laid back Senior. So laid back, in fact, that he may doze.
How was his day at school yesterday?
Let's see...
First period I had Film and Video, so that was cool. Second period: GET THIS, my math class was canceled. Third period I had physics and we measured speeds and distances of cars outside the school. I had four-one and four-two off. Then I had Film Literature for fifth period and we watched some Hitchcock and talked about it. I had sixth off.
Sounds rough, doesn't it?

This post makes me think about how eager I was to get out of high school and get a real life. I hope your boy enjoys every minute of his year, it is over too quickly.
When I was in high school (back in the 1870's) every time we had a free period we would all go hide out in the music room. Our band instructor would let us do homework or sing and play to our hearts content.
Romances developed, we taught each other how to play different instruments. My BEST high school memories.
I love your sons. They are such kind, caring, fun guys.

Best. Year. Ever. I didn't want to leave. Seriously. I mean, where else do you get to do all that cool stuff for FREE?!
I hope Middle looks at it the same way and savors it. Something tells me he will....
Day two: Substitute teacher.
Day three: Decided I'll start asking questions again next week.

Why not just have seven periods?
It's mean of you to make my head hurt when all I did today was clean and entertain.

Senior boy was razzing Freshman boy about wearing 'class' colors one Friday.... wouldn't tell Freshman boy what would befall him if he didn't.
Freshman boy wore his 'class' color that day!
