Personal History

I loved kindergarten and had lots of friends. I was a good kid and never really got into trouble. I remember the purple carpet that we use to sit on for singing and story time. One little boy always wanted to sit by me and would always try and kiss my cheek. Its amazing how young you can start becoming attracted to the opposite sex. I just remember him smelling like pee all the time. My mom started working so I would go to Robison's after kindergarten. Thats where Cody and I were babysat. There was another girl there around my age so we had fun together. There are only a few things that stand out in my mind about kindergarten. I remember I loved it when my mom came to help out for my snack day. Sometimes she'd have to bring Cody and he would entertain all the kids. They loved him and thought he was so funny. The Halloween party really stands out too. My mom came to help that day. I dressed up as a genie. I remember going into the bathroom in the dark with the teacher and putting our hands in a container with different foods, and the teacher telling us they were worms and brains and stuff like that. I remember thinking it was fun. Then we carved pumpkins and Mom and my pumpkin won the prize for best carved. I was so excited! Another memory I have of kindergarten was when one of the kids pooped on the carpet and wouldn't admit that they did it. The teachers got the principle to come in and made us line up and they were going to check each of our bums to see who did it. I remember feeling so scared. Another little girl cried. I realize now that they were just trying to scare the person into admitting to the crime. They took him in the bathroom first cause they suspected him and he fessed up. But how scary for the rest of us little kids who didn't understand this. I vaguely remember my graduation but my mom said I cried when I had to say goodbye to my teachers and left, so I must have really loved my kindergarten. We got to go on lots of fun field trips and I remember loving show and tell! Especially when I brought my Mom's omnicord, it was a big hit! Kindergarten is a child's first experience with school so you hope its going to be a good one.
