attended a kindergarten graduation today. had several thoughts. first and foremost being, why didn’t i have a kindergarten graduation?
oh yeah…
cause i skipped kindergarten.
anyway….
another thought i had was a song, actually. you know – “everybody’s free (to wear sunscreen)”. the ultimate graduation song. well, of course it’s not really age-appropriate for kindergarteners. better for college. high school, anyway. point is, the song was in my head, which gave me an idea for a series of blog posts. which i was going to start on, till i went to start writing a post a few hours ago only to discover that i couldn’t access my blog, because it was apparently down, so while waiting for hostgator to fix the mysterious problem, i got distracted and checked my email, which included a cute little forward from a friend of mine, which was about what happens when you ask 26 first graders to come up with their own endings to well-known proverbs… which of course isn’t kindergartners, but i’ve already changed the subject here, haven’t you been following along? *sheesh* so all that said… i’ll start on my series sometime this weekend, and in the meantime, enjoy some random thoughts plucked from the minds of first graders, because seriously, they cracked me up!
