Quote of the Day - September 15, 2010

Today is Wednesday, the fifth day of school this year. Two small, skinny girls are sitting together in the back of my classroom and chatting, waiting for class to start. One of them has come to school every single day so far; the other has appeared on my roster since the beginning, but this is only the first time I've seen her.

Ms. Absent: Sorry I couldn't come to school, Miss. I had to figure out daycare for my son.

Ms. Present: Omigod I know! Daycare was so much easier to find last year!

I didn't even ask how old their sons were...
