Won’t Forgive You For A Hundred Years

(I overhear this story while waiting in line.)

Woman #1: “On Monday I dressed up my daughter for the 100th Day thing”

Woman #2: “Hundred Day?”

Woman #1: “Yes. It was the 100th day of the school year. They sent home a letter the week before explaining it. They were celebrating by having the kids bring in 100 of anything; pennies, candies, bits of cereal. You know, as a visual to see what 100 looks like.”

Woman #2: “I see. That’s cute.”

Woman #1: “And this year they were doing a parallel to 100 years because our town is 100 years old this year. Kids were encouraged to dress up as if they were 100 years old. So, I put her in a long dress with an apron, put her hair up in a bun, and gave her a bonnet. I even drew wrinkles on her face.”

Woman #2: “Oh that sounds adorable. I bet she was quite a hit. You are such a good mother.”

Woman #1: “Well, not so much. The 100th Day celebration was Tuesday.”
