Start of School

Well since tomorrow is the big day for all of our children (and many of us...as so many of my friends are teachers...or at least know someone who is) I thought I would post this wonderful list I found by Jeff Foxworthy that is sure to make you laugh outloud. If you aren't a teacher or don't know anyone who is...it is okay if you don't get it!
