I've missed them, too! The highlight of being home is getting to play with little kids. I'm already teaching Emma's seven-year old sister the truth about a lot of her sugarcoated history lessons. . . Really, it's my pleasure.
Oh, I covered that on Columbus Day. She climbed into the car and told me that Christopher Columbus was their Hero of the Day at school, and I was like, "Yeah, but did your teacher tell you how he and his men opened the slave trade in the Atlantic? And how they sliced off the noses and ears of Indians, just for sport, and fed the people to their hunting dogs?" But the silly teacher left that part out, apparently. Oops.
I might have given her nightmares, but the girl will be well-informed next October, and that's what counts.
