My daughter started second grade and had the choice of learning juggling or origami. She chose origami and so far learned how to make claws for the fingers (in time for Halloween). I hope learns how to make these pretty butterflies. Especially because she loves butterflies. Her new school bag has butterflies.

My DIL is Japanese and before the wedding she made 1001 tiny,shiny gold Origami cranes——which were then strung,with tiny beads,and hung on a tree at the wedding.

Lots of work but quite beautiful.

Juggling or origami?

In second grade I had no choices I learned the curriculum. Juggling and origami were considered after school enrichment.

Teachers can waste time better than any other profession.

- Her new school bag has butterflies.

I told my wife our daughter needs a new schoolbag. She said not to get one because her father was getting it for her Birthday. I said OK but that’s not really a Birthday gift kind of thing.

Today we were talking and she said guess how much the schoolbag cost. I guessed 39 euros thinking she is going to tell me 29.

She said it cost almost 200 euros.

I said That’s a Birthday gift!
