It’s that wonderful time of year when parents rejoice! Summer break is over and students are heading back to school. Sorry kids, it’s the law.
Saying that children grow up fast is such a cliché that its hard to take the statement seriously but I’m really feeling it this year. My oldest is off to junior high and I’m asking myself; “How did we get here already?” It’s a funny thing because it doesn’t seem that long ago that I was in junior high. I remember being nervous going into that first day of Grade 7. Once I got there and saw all of my friends and met my wonderful homeroom teacher the nerves faded away.
Best of luck to all the students, teachers and parents as we get back into the school year.

A man walks into a bar and says, “Give me a beer before the problems start!”
He drinks the beer and then orders another saying, “Give me a beer before the problems start!”
The bartender looks confused. This goes on for a while, and after the third beer the bartender is totally confused and asks the man “When are you going to pay for these beers?”
The man answers, “Now the problems start!”

The boss said to her employees one day, “Please stand up, anyone who thinks they’re stupid.”
Nobody stood up so the boss said, “With all of the mistakes lately I’m sure there are some stupid people in this room!”
At this point Eric stood up.
The boss said, “Oh Eric! You’re willing to admit you’re stupid then?”
Eric replied, “No, I just felt bad that you were standing up on your own.”
