This is a conversation, albeit brief, that I had with my mother today. On the phone. It originated with me discussing our Christmas plans. Hopefully you will appreciate it.Me: "Well, we definitely will not come down there next year because then he [my infant son] will be fully aware of Christmas, too, and also, because we are going to Disney next December. So, we won't want to fly down there, too."
Mom: "How are you able to do that? Oh, because she's [my preschool daughter] not in school yet."
Me: "Yeah. And, you know, you can just take kids out of school, too."
Mom: "Err... umm... well, they don't really like you doing that."
Me: "Well, we're the parents."
Mom: "Well, they don't like you doing that and a lot of times they'll lower your grades because of it."
Me: "I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty confident that if you miss a few days of school in the third grade you might, just might, still be able to get into college."
Mom: "I don't know..."
The end.
