Did you see the news story about the school (in CA, I think) that found out their entire school year had been 5 minutes short each day, and thus had to return to school for another month this summer to make it up?!?!?!

We passed out granola bars and dum dums. We also took some playground balls. When we took Daniel into the home and told the nannies, that we had Fitsum, they just went crazy.
