Big Day
Today, my son started kindergarten. Well, not really kindergarten but kindergarten camp. The school has a couple of weeks in the summer where the kids get acquainted with school rules and teachers and stuff. So, it’s like kindergarten without the school work.
Regardless, he’s old enough to start school.
When did that happen?

Like the feller from Indiana said, “The best times are when the kids are little…”

Last summer my 10 year old “sister” got married. I don’t know who the hell gave her permission to turn 21, cause it sure as hell wasn’t me.

If he’s young enough to shoot guns, then he’s young enough to be inducted into the mind-molding embrace of Government Schools! A couple years back we held a vote (that failed) to ensure ONLY credentialed, college-graduate, dues-paying Teacher’s-Union approved educators would be permitted to conduct State-wide pre-School and Kindergarten courses for young, pre-adults…

Son, you like to go shooting with me?
Gee, well you know Dad I was kinda hoping I could use the car.

Kindergarten isn’t school. If it was, I would have gone. I went straight into 1st grade. My folks (and I) thought I had better things to do than go to kindergarten. I was much more productive at home. Gardens don’t hoe themselves.

Wait, kindergarten now has school work? I thought it was all cookies and naptime and gluing macaroni to construction paper.

And next year he’ll be going to high school, and… yeah I was trying to remember where all the time went, but I must’ve kicked up a bunch of dust or something…

Soon enough, he’ll be asking that most dreaded of questions: “Dad, I just don’t understand girls. Can you explain them to me?”

Did our first “back to school” shopping trip yesterday myself. I just hope the teenage years pass as fast as the first five.

It happened while you were at the computer keyboard.
Just wait until you realize the kids are getting married and having children of their own!!! My baby daughter is due to have her own baby the end of August. She is 30, so no wise cracks. We’re lucky, her husband is a gentleman, has a real job, we like him, and as a freebie, he likes guns and cars!

Sneaks up on you doesn’t it? Mine’s in middle school. And he’s gotten to the age of deodorant.

Wait till you see gray hair on your youngest.

You can send him down here to Texas and we will raise him with the dog, anytime.

Mine are 31 and 29… sigh…

welcome to old age

I thought that the only thing that happened in Kindergarten was getting acquainted with the school rules and teachers and stuff.
If you are expecting more than that, you will be disappoint.
