Patrick: ... 26... 37... 28... 29! Only 29 days until school starts again! Norman: Patrick is always the most excited person I know for school to start! June: 29 days, 15 hours and 6 1/2 minutes! Norman: Make that the second most excited!
8ball: When did they let out for the summer? Back in my day, school started after Labor Day because schools (except for the offices) weren’t air conditioned) and let out again two weeks later for another two weeks so the kids could be put to work harvesting. This gave city kids a second vacation. We never could find out why they couldn’t start school after the cotton was ginned.
