All those first day of school pics on Facebook. That's something I can get behind. Well scrubbed kids looking happy. One thing you never see is pics taken before the second day of school. I suspect they'd tell a different story. Eyes all puffy from not enough sleep. Once slicked-hair suddenly looking like somebody rubbed a balloon over the top of it. Backpack weighed down with all the books they had to drag home from the day before....making them look like little hunchbacks. Yesterday's excited eyes replaced with the ones sprouted in the back of heads to deal with the latest pop-up bullies. Ah.....youth!
