Boys have cooties

"Boys have cooties." my daughter proclaimed when I picked her up from school (to be honest, my daughter was only five when she made this statement, but I'm hoping that her feelings haven't changed).

I can't say that it's the worst year of my life, but it ranks in the 5 least favorite years to date.
