On Friday afternoon, we asked our Facebook followers to fill in the blank:
"The worst thing about the kids going back to school in Merrimack is ________."
Responses were mixed and there were multiple cries of homework being the worst, getting stuck behind buses also made the list. But there were others who said they'd miss spending time with their little ones.
A sample of what your neighbors had to say is below, and the rest can be found on the Merrimack Patch Facebook page.
- Pam Ferry Homework!
- David Drew They start so late in the year!
- Sheryl Stitsel I have to go back to work too!
- Lorna Gonzalez it's not tomorrow!
