You Are Going To School Tomorrow

Ely came home at 11:00 PM tonight after an all-day tiyul (trip) with Bnei Akiva (the Zionist Youth Group here).
She left early this morning, with a backpack of food and water and snacks. It was a long fun day...

She walked in the door tonight, exhausted, with no voice, and filthy dirty. She announced in her bearly audible voice, "Im not going to school tomorrow, K?!"

Time for tough love.

"You are going to school, now go upstairs and take a shower and get into bed."

She argued for about 5 more minutes and went up.

Tomorrow morning will be the battle.

Not looking forward to it, one bit!!

Forgot to update: She never made it to school. I lost that battle. Let it go won over tough love...
