I am excited to get pics and a few posts up about our start to a new school year. However, this was too funny to forget, so I am taking the opportunity to document these now.

Mom: (day 1 at K pick up) "Hey! How was your first day of kindergarten, Nate!?"
Nate: (big sigh) "Mrs. Dennis has a lot of words."

Mom: (day 2 at K pick up) "Nate! How was your day!?"
Nate: *silent*
Mom: "Nate, you need to answer mommy."
Nate: "Can we just have the car quiet?"

Mom: "Hi Em, how was your day at school?"
Emily: "Bad. Miss Flores had to call my name a few times."
Mom: "To help, or what?"
Emily: "No, to tell me to stop talking. It's so hard, my friends are sitting right next to me on BOTH sides!"

Mom: "Get in the car, time to go to school."
Emily: (reaching for a tissue in the tissue holder) "Oh, SNAP!" (the box was empty)

Mom: "Em, did you have a better day today?"
Emily: "Thank the Lord!" (with a big sigh)
Mom: (giggling)
Emily: "Miss Flores did not have to call my name today."
Mom: (thinking, Yes, Praise be to God!)
