Pre-Seasoning

We’re no strangers to perceptible sacrifice so, we’ve put all flavors of fun on ice. Einsteining overnight - alone - is about as exciting as a windows phone. But I’ve been-to-the-show as a pinckney, and in my years of parental-stalking analyses the juice is definitely worth the squeeze. Soon holiday parties will be made gold by candlelight and champagne cold. We’ll decorate with reds and greens and surrounding ourselves with tinseled things we’ll sing songs of angels and newborn kings. But not just yet, no, not now - now tis the *pre-seasoning* - a time of unrest, stress and testing - and God help you if they’re not impressed with your reasoning. . . slang… einsteining = studying for exams been-to-the-show = seen things pinckney = a child the juice is worth the squeeze = the reward is worth the work
