Last year I suggested to my daughters that we cut school for a few days, drive down to Los Angeles, and go to Disneyland.

Their response?

“Please, no, Dad!  We don’t want to miss school.”

What’s wrong with kids nowadays?  Forgoing Disneyland so they get a perfect attendance certificate?  That’s just wrong.

So this year we’re not giving them a choice.  In a couple of weeks we’re going to L.A., darn it.  And Disneyland.  I know they think school would be more fun, but sometimes you have to do something hard to build character.

Hey, if anybody has a connection to get us into Club 33, let me know.
