The kids are turning ten this week. They don't know how mean and petty some teachers can get, but unfortunately I do. Hence the warning. They're pretty smart. They were already upset that the only Christmas song in the program was about a Christmas tree, not the birth of Jesus.

Anyway, my husband and I had great fun on the way home, rewriting the lyrics to the Ramadan song that had been part of the holiday offering. I can't pass those on to the kids, or post them here, though.
