1
Wow, I have to say, Oakridge really blew me away today!
2
Hmm, it was impressive, I'll give you that.
3
The science labs alone! And their results are outstanding!
4
Sure, but did you clock how long the drive took?
5
Oh, come on, forty minutes isn't the end of the world.
6
Forty minutes each way, in rush hour, twice a day.
7
Ugh, that's nearly three hours a day behind the wheel!
8
Okay, we could take turns. It's manageable, surely.
9
Says the man who's never actually done a school run.
10
I'm sorry, that's fair. That's... actually completely fair.
11
Well, Lincoln is, let's say... a little underwhelming.
12
It's perfectly decent. And all her friends are going there.
13
Friends come and go at that age, though.
14
Seriously? You honestly believe that?
15
She cried when we mentioned leaving Maya and Zoe.
16
Oh... I didn't know she'd cried.
17
She didn't want to upset you. You seemed so excited.
18
I'm sorry. I guess I got carried away by the shiny labs.
19
Ha, to be fair, they were extremely shiny.
20
Okay, so what actually matters most to her?
21
Feeling settled, I think. She's a bit of a worrier.
22
Then maybe Lincoln... and we top up the science somehow?
23
There's that robotics club on Saturdays, isn't there?
24
Oh, she'd absolutely love that!
25
And we revisit it properly before middle school.
26
Agreed. If she's bored, we look again.
27
Great. No commute marathon, and no tearful goodbyes.
28
See? We make a pretty good team when I listen.
29
Shall we tell her together over breakfast?
30
Definitely! I think pancakes might be in order!
31
Ha, now you're just bribing her.
32
Hey, it's called strategic parenting.
