Since you asked:

Yesterday my seven-going-on-18 daughter, Ann Caroline, was going to notify Child Protective Services and report abuse if I did not get our Christmas tree. This is a child who loves to put on her Santa hat and just sit in the dark living room and stare at the decorated and lit tree. If it was up to A.C. we would wear costumes and trick or treat at least once every week and we would bave a Christmas tree all year round.

So, fine, I picked her up right after school and we headed to the local nursery. On the way we passed the high school as it was letting out. As one of the real treats of being a parent is F’ing with your kids, I reminded Ann Caroline about a bald lie I’ve been telling her that, in high school, kids go to school for 24 hours a day. They let them out to eat dinner with their families, but they have to go right back to their classes that run all night. She thought about that for a second and said;

“That must be why they say teenagers sleep all the time. I just thought they were lazy.”





P.S. Got the almost perfect tree. Seven foot, perfectly symmetrical scotch pine. We left A.C.’s school at ten to three and were back with the tree by 3:15. Beautiful.
