Ye Olde Tale

By Jenster | August 25, 2008 |

And it came to pass in those days that a decree was sent throughout the land stating all children shouldst return to their scholarly pursuits. And so it was the offspring of the house of Todd, garbed as was appropriate to their station, boarded the conveyance of saffron which wouldst carry them to places of learning. And thus there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth upon the carriage. But lo, the women rejoiced, singing praises to the Lord and joyfully dancing in the streets.

    Too funny!!! I know you must be glad the kidlets are back in school. And why do I hear either Eric Idle’s or John Cleese’s voice in my head when I read your post.

    Yes, and lo, some of the rejoicing women also returned to their original vocations and were pleasantly surprised in their own abilities after 18-year maternity leaves.Oh, wait. Maybe that was just me.
