Less vacation but NO homework!

Two of my favorite outdoor activities are skiing and outdoor hot tubs. The hot tub this weekend was a little small, but I didn't let that stop me, nor did anyone else. There were eight people crammed into a tub that would comfortably seat four.

When you're sandwiched between half-naked people you don't know, small talk is a necessary evil. I was squished between seven young teenage girls. High school small talk is somewhat better than adult small talk. 

They go around exchanging ages:

"Fourteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen BUT almost fourteen."

I'm ready to declare thirty-and-a-half, but no one's interested. They continue,

"What classes are you in?"

"I have a drumming class."

"Really?"

"I'm in a theater class."

"Are you going to take any AP classes?"

"Probably."

"I wish vacation wasn't almost over."

"I wonder what it's like when you have a job and you don't get lots of vacation."

I didn't know this was a thing.
