First Day of School in a Nutshell

I have set a precedent for myself...I put a note in Nicco's lunch on the first day of French camp, so now he expects a lunchbox note every day. He also has a little mailbox on his house and looks forward to mail once in a while.

I put a letter in his mailbox that read:
"YAY Nicco! You did it! You got through your first day of first grade! Only 177 more to go!"
He read the letter then stood frozen for a moment, looked up and raised his hands to the sky and yelled, "NOOOOOO!!!!!"

I said, "Didn't you like your letter?"

He said, "I did, all but the 177 days part. How many days until my break?"
