Speaker 1 (00:01):
Dumb in the Morning with Melissa Moore, the podcast on
Cool one oh five. Onward, we go through a Monday.
School starting up. Some started last week, some will start
this week, some will start next week. I'd say within
the next ten days or so, just about everybody will
be back at it. There's an interesting poll that was out.
(00:22):
I want to talk to you about this. Melissa was
asking people, like asking adults to think back to when
they were kids and saying, were you really happy when
school started? Were you really said? What was your frame
of mind? And you got the usual breakdown. But then
they turn around and they asked parents and how do
you feel about your kids going off to school? And
that wasn't even close. That was a hallelujah, halelujah. Am
(00:47):
I a weirdo? Because when I was a kid, I
enjoyed school? And does that make me a big weirdo?
I liked going back to school.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I think I remember liking in elementary school. I mean
that was fun. You saw your friends, you had the
new school supplies, the new trapper keeper. I mean it
was it was. It was fun. And then once you
got to middle and high school, you were like, wait
a minute, summer was fun. This not as fun, but
I remember having it. I had a group of friends
(01:17):
years ago, and they always had a Mom's Day celebration
the first day of school. So they dropped the kids
off and they went out to brunch and they just
they had like a spa day scheduled, like they made
it their day the first day of school.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
That's funny, you know, similar to that. I remember driving
home from work one day. It was late in the
afternoon and I drove past a school on the last
day of school, and the buses were pulled up outside
and the teachers had walked the kids out, and you've
(01:53):
got to sit there and wait because the buses are tabo.
So I'm sitting there behind them, and the kids are
leaning out the windows wave into the teachers, and the
teachers are waiting like, oh, our little darlings, Oh, we're
not gonna see you. Oh. And as soon as the
bus is pulled off, these teachers were jumping up in
the air like they had just won the lotto, and
they're high fiving and they're hugging like, oh my god,
(02:16):
we've got rid of them finally. And it was the
funniest thing because the kids are like, oh, you're gonna
miss us, and the teacher's like, oh, yes, we're gonna
miss your little darling heart so much.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And they did until the bus pulled away, like until
the bus left, and then they were like, all right,
I feel better now. I mean we're I missed them
for a good thirty seconds and I'm feeling okay now.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And then they get it and then they hit the bottle.
Immediately they're like.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Let's grab our stuff, get in the cars, and we're
out of here.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
This is the way the parents feel when they send
them back. In fact, I remember in May or whatever
when one school near me had was shutting down the
little signboard outside the school. I thought this was clever
the teachers to put up a sign outside the school
and it said parents tag You're.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It, which is so perfect, and that's what you feel
like as a parent. You're like, dag on it, it's
me now. All summer we were.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Talking about school and how I was that kid who
really enjoyed going to school, and then Melissa and I
were sharing stories about, you know, teachers celebrating at the
end of a school year, parents celebrating at the end
of summer. Amanda in Lakewood says, I'm a first grade teacher,
and I actually had a parent ask if I'd be
(03:28):
interested in hosting quote learning days for the first week
of summer break, so they wanted one more week of
dropping their kids off. I couldn't believe they would even
ask that. You could see their hearts sink when I
told them, no, ma'am, the school is closed after today.
That's pretty wild. Now there's the parent saying, how about
(03:50):
one more week? Right?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Think teachers like Nope had them all year.
