With school starting up again, I was thinking about my children's school days.

| Ben and Alyssa back in the day! No, Ben is not actually cross-eyed. He's just a boy. You know how they are. |
When Alyssa was in elementary school, I went to pick her up one day. My sister Chris was with me. Chris hadn't had any children yet, and she treated my kids as if they were her own. As we waited, I started to tell her what Alyssa had worn to school that day so she would be easier to spot.
Chris said, "What she's wearing? You mean you don't even know what your own daughter looks like? I know what she looks like!"
About that time, the bell rang, and the doors opened, erupting with hundreds of children. It was a lot of children! It was a roiling mass of children! You know the scenes from the move World War Z with the zombies (fast zombies!) crawling over each other? It was like that!
And my sister looked at me and said, "What did you say she was wearing?"
