Semester Calendar

I recently had the following conversation with Eden about upcoming fun events for our family.

Me: So school starts tomorrow for me, and then in a few weeks we'll have a little vacation to Omaha.
Eden: Will we get to go to the zoo?
Me: Probably, if we want to.  And then in March we'll have spring break and your birthday, and the first day of April is Easter!
Eden: And there's the gun show.
Me: (with a little chuckle) Oh, yeah, right, the gun show.
Eden: It's on March 10 and 11.
Me: Wait . . . what?  There's really a gun show?
Eden: Yes.  It's on March 10 and 11.  And I'm going.
Me: You're going to a gun show?  What?  When?  Where?
Eden: (patiently) I told you, it's March 10 and 11.
Me: (stupidly, trying to figure out what is going on) How are you going to a gun show?  Is this a field trip?
Eden: No.  Daddy's taking me.
Me: Daddy's taking you to a gun show?  When?
Eden: (a little frustrated): On March 10 and 11.
Me:  How do you know about a gun show?
Eden: I saw a sign for it.  Daddy's taking me and I'm going to get a pocket knife.
Me:  Oh. . . . ok.  Well, ok.  On March 10 or 11 you're going to the gun show.  I think you should make it March 10, that date works better for us.
Eden: Ok.
