first-day-of-school frezents

every single year,

my mom gives my kids wrapped presents

(frezents)

for the first day of school.

and every single year, my kids ask:

"don't we open our first-day-of-school presents EARLY?"

the answer is simple:

"NO."

this is because

first-day-of-school presents

are for the first day of school.

they are a special treat to look forward to.

maybe the day was rough.

maybe your best friend is in a different class.

maybe it's just sad to say goodbye to summer.

well, one thing is for certain...

when you get home from school, you can open

a special something from grandma.

thanks, grandma.

we ♥ you.
