Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 05, 2020

Compromise—Wallace gets to go barefoot since the shoes have likely already been tossed into the ocean.

“And Dad said he was using stripper on the old furniture!”

That would be so priceless to see! I wonder how he got to that point? Did he wear his trunks and just strip down at his desk? Or did he go to the rest room and come back ready to swim… Will does such a great job capturing this kid’s mind – how he’s honestly wondering what’s wrong…because it’s June and that’s when you lose your shoes and swim every day… what’s the problem?!

I love how respectful the teacher is.

“Plus, it’s casual Friday!”

It’s almost time to leave for the summer

and by July the shorts will be too much…

Trunks, t-shirt, rainbow sandals, duck feet in the car, last bell rings, 15 minutes later; in the water!

The seagull dared him to do it.

Yes Wallace but has the school air conditioner broken down?

Good thing it isn’t Sterling. There’d be total exposure.

In Catholic School, we wore required uniforms regardless of the weather. On the plus side, I now have a thing for shapely women in tight fitting, button up, white blouses.

I remember very well that sensation.

Cue the song: “Express yourself”

Think June’s bad? Try June in Texas.

School in June? Two a days start in August!
