The Dropout

The little kids and I took Meredith to her game tonight. For the most part, the little ones were running around with a pack of other little kids, but then Phil came up to sit by me. Out of nowhere he tells me he is going to be a kindergarten dropout.

I said, "No. You are going to graduate from high school."

He (very upset) said, "Mooooommmmm! Pleeeaaasssseee! I want to be a dropout!

I said, "Do you even know what a dropout is?"

He said, "No."

I said, "Don't you think you should at least go to school long enough to find out what it means?"

He said, "They already said they won't tell me."


.......Oh, yeah, this is gonna be a fun year. I can't WAIT for parent-teacher conferences.
