Conversations around the coffeepot

[reprobayt]

Co-worker: How was the drive in this morning?
Me: The extra traffic from school starting was horrible.  Hmm...you know, this is the first time I haven't had to worry about school supplies, bus schedules and a grumbling child on their first day of school.

Co-worker: I thought your daughter was still school-age?
Me: She is...but now she is married, living in Arizona with her Air Force husband and expecting their first child.

Co-worker: *blinks* I've really missed a lot lately.
Me: That's an understatement.

Co-worker: Do you miss it?
Me: Miss what?

Co-worker: The excitement and fun that is the first day of school with your daughter?
Me: *ponders* No.  Not one bit. 

:D
