No, this isn't a picture from 1988!  It's 2012.  Yes, I'm aware that the boy in the picture has neon green shoes and a matching shirt.  This is the first day of 4th grade!!  I know, I'm a bit late.  School started last week.  I can't believe it!  4th grade.  Wow.

So far, so good with the new school year.  Today he came home needing to research interesting facts about Slovakia and Hungary to present to his class.  I suggest that he take Hungarian currency to school and discuss the conversion to euro and dollar.  He was appalled that I would suggest such a thing.  Afterall, "I'm sure the Hungarian kids in my class are aware of the conversion, Mom!"  My bad!!  Sometimes I forget that this kid is so worldly!
