SERIOUSLY, I HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE WITH HER AS IT IS

Dear (______) Elementary School,

Could you please, PLEASE rearrange your schedule so that the Kindergarten and the Fifth Grade do not have recess at the same time? Because of the influence the cool-big-kid 10 year olds have on my innocent-yet-attitude-filled five year old, the following three conversations have taken place in our house this week:

#1
Lauren: "Mom, does Santa really put the presents under the tree on Christmas?"
Me: "Yes, of course, who else do you think does it?"
Lauren: "But, are you sure he is real? Like really, really, real?"
Me: "Absolutely!"
But, even with all my enthusiasm, I could still see the wheels turning in her head.

#2
Lauren: "Dad, I just love Hannah Montana."
Brian: "Have you even seen Hannah Montana before?"
Lauren: "No, but I've heard all about her and I just know I'm going to love it when I see it!"

#3
I was standing outside of Lauren's classroom door this afternoon to pick her up. The bell rang, she walked up to me, stared up into my face and said, "Hi, Doofus."

So, as you can see, I need all the help I can get.

Sincerely,
A Concerned Parent

Wait, are you sure she got "doofus" from school? I'm pretty sure Brian called me that a time or too in his lifetime! :)
