This one showed up on my son’s hand on Field Day, a basically a “no work.” fun and games day at the end of the school year.
Despite failing on his already scraped knee, hitting his head on the ground and “I think I broke my toe,” it was off to swim practice.
“But it will wash off, Dad,” the youngster pleaded.
“We’re going to swim practice.”
“It will make a mess in the pool.”
“Wash it off ahead of time. I’ll take a picture of it.”
You see the photograph.
At about 3:40, with school letting out at 3:30, I saw only one Crystal Lake policeman on Golf Road out in front of South Elementary School.
He wasn’t giving tickets. He was talking to a woman who was legally parked.

Dads Forced to Cough Up Dough for “Donuts for Dads” Day at South School
My son came home and said,
“Look at this!”
It was an
sticker with an American Flag.
Just like people will be wearing tomorrow.
I asked him how the election turned out.
He used colorful (not profane) language to describe his disapproval of Obama’s victory.
The vote 200-195 for John McCain. Obama won 50.6% of the kids’ votes. My son was campaigning for McCain.
“We got to go in the voting booths. It was fun,” the eleven year old said.
While he was voting in his first big time election, I was trying to finish distributing literature from the Republican candidates who can’t afford postage.
I almost finished. I missed maybe six houses and I know a couple were filled with Democrats.

After South Elementary School’s annual Halloween Parade, one of the grownups pretended to be chasing some girls who appeared to be junior high school.
He was dressed as the chain saw massacre guy, fake heads hanging from his belt.
He turned on the motor of his fake chain saw and started to run after the girls.

That’s what Keely Cat wonders.
He’s heard that nursing rhyme about the little lamb following a kid to school.
He knows it’s against the rules.
But Cat Dad is so boring during the day.
“All he does is move his claws up and down making clicking sounds,” Keely explains.
“I’ve got to escape Mayor Aaron Shepley’s 75% sales tax hike.
“Maybe they don’t charge it as South School.
“What’s a school?”
