Old People Work

On Monday we got into my first class which is pretty small, and the teacher asked the typical question, "So what did you guys do over the weekend?" My answer was boring so I just sank a bit lower in my seat and let the other kids talk about driving down to SLC or bridge jumping or whatever awesome stuff they did. Although I was surprised at how many of us lazed around, watched movies, and played games with friends.

Well, we asked the teacher what he did. He told us he worked all day Thursday, (as a teacher he didn't get that day off) and then Friday he got up early and worked in the yard because it was in dire need of it so he spent all day outside pulling weeds and planting stuff, and then Saturday he had to get up early and drive somewhere and then watch his kids play ball and then work in some parade, and work and work and work.

Basically, it must suck to get old. Old people find ways to work on VACATIONS! Wow.

Yeah, you're right. Since we work so darn hard, about the only enjoyment we old people get is watching our kids work hard too! Why do you think we are always encouraging you to work, work, work? ;-)
