2010 Flashback - last day of school

I was sure I would be super emotional on the kids' last day of school. After all, Caitlyn had been at the daycare for almost 4 years (minus summers), and I had dropped both of my precious children off there at the fragile age of six weeks old. Even though the daycare kept switching the assistant teachers in both of my children's rooms, I felt very close to especially the lead teachers who had been with them the entire year. Of course things never go according to plan; I received a call from Elijah's teacher that he had a fever and needed to be picked up. I brought Elijah back to school with me where my coworker graciously led him in naptime. Since I had to go to the doctor, my much less emotional husband did the final pickup that afternoon.

Is "ghettoblaster" really Dutch for boombox?

"HEMA" is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on 4th November, 1926, in Amsterdam . Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands.

Take a look at HEMA's product page. Don't try to order anything (it's in Dutch anyway), but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. Don't click on any of the items in the picture, just wait and see what happens. This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer.. 

(Wikipedia update - apparently "ghetto blaster" is in fact a synonym for boom box... who knew?)
