The Saddest Day


Okay. Well. It may not look like the saddest day to you. But you're looking out the wrong side of the camera. I was traumatized. Tearful. Trying to be brave.

Grace was happy, anxious, elated, unable to contain herself.
So excited she forgot her backpack.

*Sigh.*

Something is very wrong about all-day kindergarten. And maybe school in general. What genius decided to make 8 hours away from the family an acceptable social norm? And why is it that if I decide to pull my reading/writing/math-doing child out of school for more than 5 days I get sent to court? And maybe jail? I mean, who do they think taught her that stuff? Is she really better off with them than me?

Wrong, people. School and I are not friends.

But she is. She and school are besties. And I guess I can deal with that. Temporarily.
