Family Reunion Season

As I walked in the cafeteria to join all the summer school kids for their breakfast yesterday, I was immediately greeted by giant bear hug from one of the students. This didn't seem unusual because this 2nd grader has been greeting me like this all year long (and I finally learned his name last week). One thing was different, though. This time after I finally peeled him off, he proudly pointed to his shirt. It was a Childs Family Reunion t-shirt. I jokingly told him that he better let me know when "our" next reunion is. He didn't see anything funny about this. He really believes that we share the same grandparents. I guess I'm just the white sheep of the family.
