A Week Ago Thursday

Last week, having somehow missed a note on the school calendar, I didn't take my six-year-old seriously when he insisted there was no school on Thursday. At first, I thought he was just kidding — but he was very insistent, and he even got a bit angry and upset when I wouldn't believe him.

But he was right, I was wrong, and he was able to enjoy his moment of triumph over a parent. (The first, I'm sure, of many to come.)

This morning, energized by the success of the past week, he tried to convince me that there was no school today. (He didn't try all that hard, though.)
