Zoey and I had the following conversation after breakfast this morning:
Me: Zoey, it's time to go brush your teeth and get dressed.
Zoey: I need to get ready for school!
Me: No. We're going to the grocery store. You don't have school today.
Zoey: [whining] Why not?
Zoey and kindergarten are still in the playful first days of their relationship. The bloom is still on the rose.
Me: Because it's a holiday. It's Labor Day.
Zoey: What's Labor Day?
Me: It's a day when workers don't have to work.
Zoey: Good! I don't have to do my chores today!
Kids catch on quickly, don't they?
Song of the day: No New Tale To Tell by Love And Rockets
Labor Day, As Defined By A Kindergartener
