Labour Day still stings

Currently at Toronto Pearson: 21, which will be the high for the day.

How old were you--how old do you suppose kids are, on average--when you found out that your parents were glad to be rid of you at the end of the summer, when school started again?

How old were you when you discovered that your parents were glad on what for you was the worst day of the year, the end of the world?

Or at least that they pretended that they were?

How many parents are ashamed to admit that they are not in fact glad?
