First Day of the Rest of Your Life

Ever since we implemented the even-day/odd-day system the boys have been obsessed with the date. On odd days, Archie goes first for everything– first to get his teeth brushed, first to choose a book to read, etc. Carter has the even days.

Archie and Kevin were sitting on the couch, getting ready for teeth-brushing.

Archie: What day is it? What day is it? What day is it? (stops briefly to breathe)

Kevin: It’s the first day of the rest of your life.

Archie: (long pause) Monday?
