So my son, an incredibly bright, yet precocious, 7 year-old, was recently moved back a step in his First Grade reading program
No big deal…..right? He is still doing great, just having some difficulty learning how to read. Nothing to worry about, huh?!!!
Well, tell that to my husband, who, by the way, is freaking out! Me………not so much!
I, as my oldest sister Ann would claim, supposedly flunked Kindergarten and had to repeat it! Even though I, will to this day, argue that I didn’t! After tons of argument at a recent family gathering, we proved once and for all that my sister has taken one too many Brownies off the “Special” brownie plate……. For fuck sake’s I graduated friggin’ high school at the age of 17 so go figure? You do the math?! (Thanks Sis!!!)
I will however, admit to being in resource for a brief stint during the first grade. I have no idea why I had to go to resource but I was there. Maybe it was because I had maturation issues. Maybe it was because I was just too goddamn young to start school in the first place (I was, mind you, only four fucking years old when I started Kindergarten…..) Or maybe it was just because I was an idiot!
No matter what the reason was, I was there and I will never forget. YEP!!!! I rode the short bus with all of those other window licker friends of mine and who’s to say that I did not lick a fuckin’ window or two with ‘em!
I am proud of it!!!!
So, with that said, after all of that, I still turned out okay (my husband will beg to differ).
I grew up, started a life of my own, hold down a job, have a family, raise four animals and I still turned out OKAY, well no….screw that…I turned out GREAT!!!!!!
…..And so will my son
