Science Fair

A youngish couple comes in, picks out a display board. They're quietly talking to each other at the register.

Clerk: "When's your project due?"

Couple: "Tomorrow."

Clerk: "Oh. What grade are you in?"

Couple: sheepish "Third."

Clerk: brightly "Good luck!"

Man: "It's not going to be this way next year."

Clerk to self: "Yeah, sure." Shakes her head with a been-there smile.
