Today is Back to School day for my kids… and the first day of summer vacation for their parents.

This morning, I had this conversation with my new third grader:

Me: Wow, you’re in third grade now, huh.

Third Grader: Actually, I’ve been in third grade since June. You’re in the next grade after the last day of school, you know.

Me: Hmmm. Well, I was just remembering I used to think that people with third graders are OLD… but I’m not old, am I?

Third Grader: (thinking) Well… you are, um… kinda old… but you’re still kinda fun sometimes.

Me: Aren’t you late for school?
