When I think back to similar experiences in school, it makes me wonder if teachers sometimes forget how easy it is to stress out little kids.<br /><br />I do admire your dedication to the task, however.Jenny Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622490947145712857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-32951655768842408322009-09-10T06:32:46.763-07:002009-09-10T06:32:46.763-07:00I never got to go to preschool, or kindergarten, e...I never got to go to preschool, or kindergarten, either. I started fist grade when I was five, and I didn't know how to tie my shoes yet. (If Velcro had been invented, it wasn't on the market.) After a few weeks of having to tie them for me, my teacher got exasperated and told my parents I'd better learn to do it myself or she'd kick me out and I'd have to start over again the next year. So I stayed in an entire Saturday morning getting the skill down, and I had to miss "Big John and Sparky" on the radio (an archaic but lively form of mass communication in which you heard voices but saw no images). Sad, true story.<br /><br />Top that one, Mr. Clown Pants. Oh. You already did.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13765688465211717384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-55946952269236193332009-09-08T20:08:19.472-07:002009-09-08T20:08:19.472-07:00MTC, good thing the children's theatre has all...MTC, good thing the children's theatre has all those costumes on hand for the upcoming costume sale. The odds are good you found a pair of bottoms that got you though the day. The jester pants, perhaps...or something loose and flouncy from The Big Friendly Giant? I'm sure you looked very becoming.Jenny Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622490947145712857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-76346374694942923762009-09-08T10:11:57.431-07:002009-09-08T10:11:57.431-07:00I was riding to work on the bus this morning when ...I was riding to work on the bus this morning when I realized that I'd forgotten to get dressed. Moreover, I had an important exam for which I had not prepared! <br /><br />Thankfully, I woke up and realized that there was no exam. Of course, that didn't explain the lack of pants.MightyToyCannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523823158706838012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-47898646574571645852009-09-08T09:50:28.884-07:002009-09-08T09:50:28.884-07:00I watched all the kids with spotless new backpacks...I watched all the kids with spotless new backpacks strapped to their bags marching off to the neighborhood school this mornings. Most had parents trailing behind with large bags of school supplies. <br /><br />I always love the first day of school. Best of luck to all the kiddos out there!princess smartypantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17986823201253755103noreply@blogger.com
