Lo, the times of fund raising are upon us.
Our daughter has brought home a sure purpose: get us to sign up for her school’s fun run and give her money for the school’s fund raiser.
“What’s a fund raiser?” I asked her.
“I don’t know!” she said. “It’s for the school!”
She has distressingly talked about eating less so she’ll be “thin” and thus capable of running more and earning more money.
This feels like a series of land mines for us to navigate over the next week or so. The event is a week from Friday. We’ll see what things look like a week from now.
Update: I have donated money (a flat donation, not a per-lap thing), and my daughter has been exposed to COVID and may not get to run the race anyhow. The irony!
