5 Lessons from 5 weeks of Kindergarten

(P.S. Everything in double quotes is exactly as is from the horse’s own mouth)

1. “Girls rule, boys drool”. - declared like a universal fact without any context.
(I still don’t know how to react. )

2. We all “need” boyfriends and girl friends. “Boy friends are needed to help with fighting the other boys”, and “to dance with.” There’s also a concept of “back up boyfriends”.

Also, please note, if someone is “handsome”, or “really pretty” you can have a “crush” on them.
(Crush, seriously. At kindergarten. *insert continuous eye roll*)

3. Black is the new pink. “Mom, Black is very fashionable!”

4. The floss dance is a real thing. And when I see my daughter do it, I realize how old, jaded and outdated I have become.

5. Wearing the football team shirt - Seattle Seahawks in our case - is very in and chic. A must have piece of clothing in the wardrobe.

It is almost as if I have also started school, not just her. So much to learn!
