Today at work I was unable to use my headphones to drown out the talk of those around me. I overheard a long conversation about an upcoming kindergarten graduation. Yes, kindergarten graduation. Said graduation will be complete with ceremony, cap, gown, tassel and of course musical performances.
LUDICROUS.
I felt like the grinch who stole childhood in my cubicle listening to all the ooing and awing. I can picture the small scrolled frame displaying my quickly shrinking black heart now.
Costumes and performances to celebrate this joyous triumph? I imagine two small five year old boys throwing their shiny royal blue caps in the air….
WOO! We’re outta here! This was one tough year. I mean dude, we learned about shapes, colors and sharing. I barely made it through that coloring book final exam, I nearly wet my pants when I couldn’t find my Maize Crayola. THANK GOD IT’S OVER. Somebody get me a juice box!
What is an appropriate gift for a kindergartner? A new car? A credit card? Definitely something to reward them for all their ball busting hard work on the long and winding road to 1st grade.
Is a gun an appropriate gift for the kindergarteners that has everything? So this is where it all began over a year ago? i see why you’re still around today. Love the speech for the ceremony.
