“There’s a first time for everything, hers and yours. Second graders are cute, as long as they don’t stick crayons up their noses. You do what’s best for you though, I’ll support it 100%.”

“That’s really sweet Ari, who knew you would be supportive.” Oliver teased, “I’d rather not deal with grades higher than fifth, that’s when the hormones kick in and I don’t think I have the guts to deal with kid drama.”

       “You know...I thought working with kids would be awesome but after dealing with a little girl crying over her...monthly coming early...that was a rude awakening. I think I’m going to stick with second graders instead.”

“Honestly I can say, I sort of missed this place. Never thought I would have said such a thing.”
