Irony

Here I am at age 3. I was crying because my brother (age 8 at the time) got to go to school and I didn't. I even went so far as to make up my own "Pretend School" and every day I would go off to "Pretend School" when my brother went to real school. That's about where it would end, though, because I had no idea what one actually did all day in school. I just thought it sounded very exciting.

If I had only known that I would be in school for 21 years, maybe I wouldn't have been crying.

ah yes, remember when "going to school" seemed so glamorous and exotic, and totally unfair that the older ones got to go. little did we know that it was child jail where you had to sit next to the kid that smelled, ate his boogers, and they enforced nap time. i don't know how i'm going to get my child excited to go when it's that time for him. yikes.

LOL, Lacy! Brainwash him into being excited about learning. ;)

I played school all the time, now I work in a school and I'm still going to school.
This is a priceless pic.
