School enrollment – the big event
The time has come. The daycare child becomes a school child. A huge change for the whole family. And an event that needs planning – more or less. The day of schooling has meanwhile taken on the volume of an Oscar ceremony. School principals point out a limited number of participants in auditoriums (mother, father, siblings, grandma and grandpa are tolerated, the rest of the invited relatives are only allowed to come to lunch in the restaurant afterwards. A small note on the side for everyone who enjoys such major events : Make a table reservation at least 4 months in advance …). Of course, the school cone is also assigned a not insignificant importance – after all, it is very close to the proud NBC shooter.
