The First Day
Published Jan 01, 1900
My youngest child was thrilled when her turn came to enter kindergarten. To make sure we had plenty of time to eat breakfast and get ready on the first day, I woke everybody up early -- so early that it was still dark.
I was dressing when my little daughter came into my room looking troubled. "What's wrong?" I asked, mustering as much cheerfulness as I could at that hour. "This is your big day!"
She blurted, "You didn't tell me I was going to night school."
