My son's summer break has already begun, but he is saying that "this is not like a summer break!" Usually, at this time of year, the rainy season has already ended, and we have a scorching hot and humid summer. This year, we still have rain almost everyday. The temperature is low. I like it because it is easier to function, but like my son said, this is not like July.
My son has been asking me every now and then since last month, "Dad, how many days more until the summer break begins?" "Hey, you are already in the sixth grade. You can calculate that!"
Way back in my childhood, I was the same as my son. I couldn't wait for summer because it is the big thing for kids. In Japan, usually primary school's summer break is a month and ten days. I envied the kids in western countries when I heard they have a much longer vacation.
When the vacation began, I was happy, but after the middle of the vacation, gradually I became lonely. "Oh, I have only two weeks more. Oh, I have only ten days more. Oh, my goodness! I have only five days. Give me a break!" My son also says the same every year!
I want my son to have a great time in the summer. He should make a lot of great memories.
