To be a kid . . .

Second graders are the best! On Friday in my class, we had a beach party in hopes of feeling warm in the depths of winter. The kids dressed up in shorts and t-shirts, went surfing on their towels, danced to The Beach Boys and sunbathed under drawings of the sun. Older kids would balk . . . adults would balk or just not show up. But second graders . . . they left smiling their biggest smiles and saying that the past half hour was the best time of their entire life. How can you not love that?

I would have danced and laid out at your party! It sounded like so much more fun than a stuffy dinner party where you have to groom yourself in preparation a week before hand, pick up chocolates on the way over, write a thank you note after, pay a babysitter more than they will spend on your portion of the meal, laugh as if the joke actually was funny, etc...

I totally would have preferred your party!
