One down...

One hundred seventy-six more to go. School days that is. Starts With an X left a comment on my last post that gave me an idea. She wondered what Obama and McCain said as kindergarteners. It got me thinking so I googled. 
This is what I found...
"Iis Darmawan, 63, Obama's kindergarten teacher, remembers him as an exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly picked up the local language and had sharp math skills. 'He wrote as essay titled, I Want to Become President " the teacher said."

I say he wins just because he's writing essays in kindergarten and he can predict the future.

I'm not saying Ms. Darmawan is stretching the truth a bit, but let's examine what I observed in kindergarten today.

One little guy cried not wanting to leave mommy. Three mommies cried not wanting to leave their kids. Three (kids, not mommies) can not write their names. None can tie their own shoes or stick a straw in their own juice boxes.
Four still draw people like this...






And not a single one wrote an essay. Not one.
At least not yet.

Good Lord. Essays in kindergarten?! I so highly doubt it. When Nash becomes President you can tell the Associated Press he could draw a mean Power Ranger and wanted to be a NASCAR driver when he grew up. Or make up something like she did......

Suggestion for you is a small task rather than that talk to your girl will help more and the painting are so nice.
