August 2021 Brooke Notes
PHOTO BY JODIE BRIM Even though I’ve been out of school for nearly ten years now, August will always mean “back to school” for me.

Dad, Dad, Dad, DAD!
The microwave beeps. I hear one kid asking me to check him in the bathroom to make sure he is clean, while the other kid is in full-pout mode, sitting in front of a workbook page where he’s been for the last half hour. He could just do the last two math problems, or we […]
