I begin to worry about Stella. (Not yet three, if you recall.)
On receiving some stern correction from my wife: “Mama, why are you so bitchy?”
Is she hanging out with junior high kids when we’re not looking? WTF?
The Nephews go to a school which covers 3 years of preschool (so, join at 3yo) through the end of Compulsory Secondary Education (10th grade).
The Kidlette started preschool this year, the Kidlet is in 1st grade. He confided in me that he was so happy to find out that being “one of the big kids now” “does not mean you have to be serious all the time, PHEW! I was so worried!”
