Back to School Night

The attack came swiftly.
“Gee, mister, you’re going bald.”
I looked down to see a diminutive second grade girl in a flowered dress, hands on hips, assessing me confidently.
“I know,” I said, squatting down to look at her on-the-level. I tilted my head forward and rubbed the top so she could get a good look. “It’s that when I was young, I…I…I didn’t eat my vegetables.”
Her jaw went slack as her eyes glazed over and the confidence drained from her face. Without saying a word she slowly turned and walked away, rubbing the top of her head. As I rubbed mine.
I just love back to school night.

:laugh: Whenever my kids point out my flaws, I always tell them it was because I didn't eat my vegetables as a youngster. Shuts them up and gets them thinking.
