news from the home front

My children have staged a coup!

Mike said, they would not get out of bed this morning. The teachers told us there is no school and we are not going, they giggle from beneath the covers. (I'm pretty sure this was Noah's idea, but again side kick always plays along)

OK, says Mike, time for breakfast.

OK, say the children, but no school!

Get dressed, says Mike.

OK, my angels reply, but we are not going to school, Dad.

And so on it went until they were all the way in their classrooms groaning, Dad, we said no school today.

I think it's cute and clever of them, but then, I am far away and didn't have to do any coaxing.
