And Here's Where I Brag

I have been meaning to get this story on 'paper' so to speak but, being otherwise occupied with turkeys and rice krispie squares, have not been able to squeak out the time. I wanted to tell you about my 4 year olds first day at school. With staggered entry, he was there with only four other children on the first day.

The teacher shows the kids where to place their bags and coats when they come in the door. The conversation with Aiden goes something like this:

Teacher: You put your bag on the hook that has your name on it.

Aiden: (pointing to the sign above the hook) What does that say?

Teacher: That says 'Aiden'

Aiden: (arguing) No, it doesn't.

Teacher: You have probably not seen your name with a big letter 'A' and small letters after that.

Aiden: (still arguing). That is an 'H'. Not an 'A'. And the letters are H-E-L-L-O. That DOES NOT spell Aiden.

Me: snickering delightedly in corner - you go boy!!!
