Well, Brad is gone. All the carefree fun of summertime took off on that plane with him. Now comes the hectic beginning of the school year, complete with unfinished projects, home visits, and daily panic. It’s the worst time of the year.
Last year when Brad left I made a version of Goodnight Moon to document the sorrow. Maybe I’ll post that tomorrow when I figure out how to use the scanner, but this year we made a movie. It will only be meaningful if you’ve followed our websites during his visits. I hope it will bring every single viewer to tears!! Fetch your Kleenex boxes, folks. Who am I kidding? This is only meaningful to me.
‘Bye, Brad.
Karla says
How sad! Now I miss Brad and I haven’t seen him in years! 🙁
Brad says
You make me miss myself! hehehe…
Nice job with the movie. What grade did Lloyd give it?
Lauren says
He said if I had spent another 3 hours on it I would have gotten an ‘A’.
Karla says
Does that mean that he grades solely on the amount of time you put into a project? There’s a funny ending to this comment, I just don’t have it right now. Anyone, help me out, please!
Lloyd says
I do tend to do something like that when students are close to finishing a project. “If you do this and this and this you’d get an A.” They usually know how much time doing that will take.
Lloyd says
One learns not to grade prototypes.
Annette says
Brilliantly safe answer
Kristi says
This is nearly worthy of Oscar nomination for a not-quite-professional documentary. Some observations… 1) Lloyd looks so forlorn… 2) Cricket makes a gallant attempt to stand in for Brad. 3) Did Brad use that whole bar of soap?
Lauren says
Nah, he still had about a half a bar left, but I thought it would be more poignant if it was gone. “Ain’t no sudsing when he’s gone….. It’s not clean when he’s away….”
Kristi says
I forgot to add the rest of Point #1: Lloyd looks so forlorn … without Brad at his side. A thousand pardons, Your Majesty.
Vincent Sommerer says
we have dial up internet it stinks
Vincent says
brad sure took alot of stuff with him
Lloyd says
He didn’t start out taking that much. It started out with him walking around the house saying, “All I need is this lamp.” It just sort of grew from there, the jerk.
Michele says
I almost feel guilty welcoming him back!
Lauren says
As you should.
Brad says
Vincent’s first comment! Is his T-shirt in the mail, or did I take all of them when I left?
Peggy says
Excellent! Although way to sad, I think it may cause your readers to start drinking, heavily … don’t you know any happy tunes? I love the garden sequence … I’ll just keep watching that part!!
