I walked the dog three times today and there was a HUGE garden party happening in one particular backyard around the corner

Across many adult ages, starting at 3, still going at 7, with booze, laughter. Mostly women.

At 7, I asked two of the slightly tipsy older ladies standing outside, waiting for a ride

"what's the celebration? y'all seem really happy"

Turns out, it's the last day of school

They were ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS
