The List

After constant whining about wanting more, more, more, more, more...I had Jack make a list of ten things he was grateful for. He made it official by signing his initials.

Sequence of events, according to Jack and Lucy

In the car on the way home from school, we were talking about getting new teachers next year. Lucy got a little freaked out and thought that meant she would be going to a different school. This is how the conversation went down:

M:  You'll be at Hill for the next six years.
L:  Then where will I go?
M:  To the middle school, Murchison. After that you'll go to Anderson, where I work.
J:  After that, you'll go to college. After that, you'll get a job. After that, you'll retire. After that, you'll just do whatever you want. And then...
L: Then you die?
J:  Yep.
