Back to School

Rise and Shine Antoinette,

Well kiddies...it's that time of year.  Back to School! Of course we all know of the typical back to school sales on notebooks, backpacks, clothes, old tests and a Power Rangers lunch box...but don't forget about the parents. Whether you're sending your little one off for the first time and need to drown your and their sorrows, or shedding tears over college tuition and an empty nest....wine is the answer. The weather will be cooling with the school year and that's a good time to transition to heavier reds while explaining how it was back in your day, and why you can't figure out this new math, or worse, dealing with little Johnny's behaviour problems in class. Just tell the teacher you had him all summer and never called her, now it's her turn. Then pour yourself a nice Zinfandel, hunker down in the lazyboy, and count your blessings that you don't have to make dioramas, write book reports based on cliff notes because there was no movie version, or take pop quizzes when you don't get the seat next to the smart kid! No... you're an adult now...and can legally drink wine and make up lies about how earnest a student you were, or how you would help them with their homework (as if) but think it's a more valuable learning experience if they do it themselves. Besides, they can Google as well as you! Btw what is the definition of is? Who cares... instead daydream of your glory days on the field, high school dances or band camp, restock your wine rack after sending your college kid back (the one who is trying to cram 4 years of college into 6) and pour yourself another glass of wine, maybe with a big slice of American Pie!

Be true to your school.
