Stranger to my Daughter

Yes, it is the end of the semester, and all academics know that at this time, we abandon our families to the tender mercies of the television. Thanks to extra service at the university, I have seen very little of Lola in the afternoons this week. I see how heart-wrenching it must be regularly to leave your child with others until 5:30 or 6 at night. On Wednesday night, I hear that she and her babysitter, Miss Ashley, fell asleep together on the couch watching the Disney Channel. Alas! I didn't think a non-relative would have that experience with Lola for years. I must sign off because another student appointment is coming.--K
