Taking 1st graders on a museum tour. Part of the exhibit shows German prisoners of war. I explain that some of them were given work in suburbs.
1st grade : Do they were slaves?
Me: 😶 I mean... kinda.
Why am I working on Kings birthday? 😅

I have carried a Back pack almost everyday since I was 15.
Everytime I think "I won't need this today", I regret it.
