He walks along the gravel road, obviously deep in thought - too deep for any nine year old boy. But, then, he's always been too deep for any boy his age. He wonders and things. He loves to learn and know and question. And yet, when I say to him, moments after this deep, reflective picture is taken: "Hey, buddy, you look ready for school to start again." He immediately transforms into a child, for once, as he runs away down the hill, "NOOOO!" he shouts with a smile from ear to ear. Not yet! Me either, buddy. Not yet.
I don't think anyone was ready for the school year to begin, myself only because I'm not ready for it to end.
ReplyDeleteSad thing is, I have the same feelings about school. I don't want it to end, but I don't want it to start.
ReplyDeleteI was actually ready for school to start this year. I suppose because it's my senior year and this is it.
ReplyDeleteNobody is still ready for the school year...
ReplyDeleteI was ready to see who all was in my classes this year, but i wasn't ready to do homework.
ReplyDeleteI know, it's always hard to get back into it. But, I hope you're all having a great year!
