Life Lessons From the Last Day of Third Grade

Do you remember what you learned on the last day of third grade?

No?

Me either. But I did learn a few things today…

• Two nine-year-old girls are fun together.
• Girls change clothes before (and after) dance class much more quickly when they have the right incentive.
• It’s better with friends.
• Fathers should wear tennis shoes to the park.
• I still like love to play tag.
• Life isn’t fair, especially when you didn’t hear that someone else is now “it” and you were just tagged.
• Overtired 9-year-olds can still have meltdowns.
• It’s easier for (some) adults to ponder this important question: Would you rather be right or be happy?

I’m grateful that I could spend the afternoon with my daughter and her friend. I hope I find this again in a few (or many) years and it jogs my memory.
