halfway

  • all the oversized back to school clothes actually fit
  • coats are becoming blackened around the edges
  • sneaker tread is becoming worn
  • socks without holes are a luxury
  • 7:30 rise and shine has been replaced by 8:10 bed head
  • the crayon box is left with all the worst colors 
  • the teachers smile has turned a little more wary
  • an extra good dessert doesn't offset the hot & sour meatballs in the lunchroom anymore
  • a child's enthusiasm for learning is directly mirrored by his dogged homework folder
