Another Kindergarten Story

About three weeks into the start of her Kindergarten year, Emma came home with big news. “Mom,” she said, “Did you know that there was a thing called recess?" I said, “Yes, haven’t you been going to recess all year?” “No” she told me, “I went for the first time today. Mrs. S. told me if I ate my lunch a little faster, I would get to go out and play with the other kids. I didn’t know that they were going out to play when they finished their lunches. No wonder they eat so fast!”
