Preschool
By Aardvark | August 10, 2009
Today was Scout’s first day of official Preschool! I took her this morning and she was SUPER excited. She hugged me and kissed me and then told me she would see me later. She ran off happy as a clam. (What the hell do clams have to be so happy about anyway?) This afternoon when I picked her up she was full of exciting details to tell me. She filled me in on things she colored (a picture of a tree), the things they talked about during circle time (Today is Monday), what they read during story time… this is where the story picked up a bit. Scout was very excited about the book they read. She was telling me about it but she couldn’t remember the title. Her description went something like this “it was the book and everyone was tired and sleeping and they were all together and sleeping and they were on top of each other and they all sleep together and they took a nap and sleep with everyone.” Now some mothers may have been wondering why the class was reading Hugh Hefner’s biography during story time (because really Larry Flynt would be a much more interesting read) but I immediately started going through the vast catalog of Children’s Literature in my brain.

The Napping House by Audrey Wood
So I ask Scout “Was it The Napping House?” and she gets even more excited and starts telling me about it again and saying “Yes. The Napping House!” Then she stops suddenly and looks at me and says (with suspicion dripping from her words)… “How you know that?”
So I guess it is just as well they weren’t reading Larry Flynt.

This was too funny. Yes, I think Hugh’s book would’ve been deeply disturbing but I bet the kids would think it was a costume party and everyone was dressed as little bunnies.
hehe. Wow, you thought of the right book. My mind went blank.Happy first day!
