The Boy's Second Day of Kindergarten

Okay...let's see if this went any better.

(Caleb) Mom...did you get my backpack?

(Me) No...you were supposed to get it.

(Caleb) Mom...you have to go back and get it.  I have to have my backpack.

(Me after conversing with the teacher) Caleb I spoke with your teacher and she said it was okay if you forgot your backpack this time.

(Caleb) O-K-A-Y Mooooooommmmmmm, but you have to remember it tomorrow.

Picking him up 3hrs later:

(Me) He's waving and smiling...maybe this was a better day.  "Hi Caleb...did you have fun in school today?"

(Caleb) No...I didn't get any candy.  Can we go to the gas station and get some candy?

(Me) Why didn't you get any candy?  Did you get in trouble?

(Caleb) I don't want to talk about it.

(Me) Well...I don't think I should get you any candy if you can't tell me why you got in trouble.

(Caleb) I will tell you about it tomorrow.

(Me) Then I will have to think about getting you some candy tomorrow.

(Caleb) Mommmmmm......Okay.  I was jumping up and down like a frog.

(Me)  What were you supposed to be doing?

(Caleb) Singing.

(Me) Hmmmmm.   Sounds like you weren't listening again.

(Caleb) Yeah...me and that other little boy.  Then I had to sit with the girls.

(Me) I thought you liked girls.

(Caleb) Mom...I wanted to sit with the boys.

(Me) Sounds like sitting with the boys is getting you in trouble.

(Caleb) Well...I was only jumping up and down like a frog a little bit.

...another day in the life of a kindergartener.
