The kids' selfishness is indeed discouraging, though--I'd even asked Student Council to help and they didn't! Might be one of those things you come to learn by maturity. Re the parents--I was surprised at the lack of participation, actually, but by now I need only a few helpers to pull this off. Now that it's done, it's really fine. I don't want my post to sound self-serving--I enjoy seeing the teachers so delighted.

Ouch! I concur with Mink--you...Dear Northern Light,<br />Ouch! I concur with Mink--you are amazing in every way! What an entertaining and vivid account, so vivid it makes me feel guilty and sheepish by extension. I do wonder if there are any extenuating circumstances that could be brought forward in defense of the other parents? But scandalous nevertheless.
