      Thanks DL! The “first day fight” was the first thing on my mind with the prompt. Now I’m at the “third day resistance” haha.

   Getting kids ready for school is the actual worst. I felt that here, but also the love.

   Aww the first day of school battle 😊 I remember those. Of course, I was the kid refusing to go. 😊

    Those curls! I love the contrast between the neat, pretty exterior and the grumbling–so familiar. The “necessity of clean teeth,” ha!

    I liked your choice to use passive voice in the second paragraph. Kids have a way of removing themselves from their actions when they’re mad at us, don’t they?
