you are wrong on that one too. Plus I’ll go two years better than Kindergarden. The stories my sister tells me about the playground politics of her daughters and it is astounding. Boyfriend girlfriend politics (all very innocent at her age), profiling, social stimatizing… Its all very shocking. I told my sister to get the kids out of there and she said “Why? It’s that way everywhere now.”
I swear it made me want to have a vascetomy. Kids will be kids? Ha! Kids will be adults seemingly.
I don’t know why its different today. Maybe it wasn’t and we acted similiarly without knowing it.
Or maybe these things start earlier now becuase more kids go to day care and the learn bad behavior from one bad apple.
Or maybe I am just Mr. Negative since my schooling was a sham…
I know you have kids and your experience level is much higher than mine but I have worked on a school playground and I have plenty of friends and relatives that relate these stories…
And your no prize yourself my friend!
Ill be home soon and working from SD on a more regular basis. Get some Ba Ren?

Oh god… I have such a Ba Ren craving. Haven’t been back there in awhile? I wish I could still eat there… I really wish… My digestive track just cant take it anymore…
The interesting thing that happened to me when I sent my kid in summer school, is she came back and asked
“Daddy, what is penis?” 🙁
I asked her where she got that word from….She said, one of her classmates (boy obviously) was saying “boys have penises”. I asked her if she whereher classmate got that from…”He said from his bigger brother in elementary”….
Yes, this was pre-k, and for the next two weeks or so, my kid thought it was the funniest thing….”I’m a girl… I don’t have a penis… I’m a girl, I don’t have a penis….”….I guess if it happened to other parent’s kid, I’d be ROTFLAO….So there was a nice two weeks I spent detoxicing her from repeatedly saying that word…
Which finally resulted in her joking around “girls don’t have p…..never mind daddy”
