[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents used to let us stay home from school whenever we wanted, but we didnt really take advantage of it and all 4 kids were good students and are now successful adults, some of whom (my brothers) are way more hard-working than their jobs require.

I specifically remember there was a fancy kids clothing store near my house that had a huge sale once a year, always on a school day. As a pre-teen, my mom used to take me early in the morning and we'd line up and scramble for the sales. Then we'd go to brunch.

I grew up to be a responsible adult who goes to work all the time, but understands its ok to take time off to do fun things.  [b]I will always remember those sales, way more than whatever assignment I missed that morning.

Exactly how I feel about the day I was allowed to take off to hear a presidential nominee speak.  I don't even remember the names of my social studies teachers but you can bet I remember seeing one of our past President's speak (yes he got elected!).[/quote]
