2. I can just picture the expression ...

... on your son's face during this exchange. The one that says, "Mom, stop it. You're embarrassing yourself."

3. bah hahaha. ya, well, my kids let go of that years, i mean, years ago.

now, i get to do whatever i want. they have learned that people end up having fun with me, including their friends, so they are ok.

i have interacted with all their middle school teachers so often.... they know me well, too.

and i talk to everyone. so, .... meh

4. We have 3 week winter breaks here

near Sacramento (Northern) California. Many families who had moved here from Mexico traveled back there to visit grandparents, etc.,and stayed longer than two weeks. The schools would lose many per-diem student state payments for the week after New Year's Day weekend, so the school district finally rearranged the schedule to accommodate families traveling far, and who could use more time.
Maybe that's why it's the same where you live?
