Writing a column on suburban living has its challenges, believe it or not. Coming up with a topic each week is one of them. This week was looking pretty grim, topic-wise, until the Olathe School District got a phone call from a fruitcake and then added its own bit of nuttiness.

It turns out that Presidents Day is coming up. Hard to believe, I know! Seems like we just got finished with last year’s Presidents Day festivities, doesn’t it? You remember, when we all … wondered what to do with the kids while we worked. Because normal human beings don’t get Presidents Day off. Only kids and government employees do.

That’s why the government employees responsible for this year’s elementary school lunch calendars at the Olathe School District found themselves with space to fill on the spot for next Monday. So, blissfully oblivious to the offense they were creating, they popped a photo of Barack Obama in that spot and went about their day.

At least, I think they put the photo in that spot. I can’t say for sure, because that version of the lunch calendar has now vanished from the website, and the printed menus have been reprinted without the photo.
