Tidbits

Yesterday at school, the teachers explained to the kids that they will be gathering gently used books to give away to kids who don't have any books. One girl said they had a lot of old books at home that they could give away. But my kids said, "We have a lot of books. But we read them ALL!" Surely amid the hundreds and hundreds of books, we can find a few to part with. Or, we'll just go to the store . . .

Another book tidbit: apparently, they were reading Madeline in school and ours were the only kids who identified the Eiffel Tower. I wonder what kindergarten goal that meets?

And today, we have been watching it rain and rain and rain. Just now, when a flood warning beeped across the tv, if it was flooding here. Or in Venice. Well, Sis, it is starting to look like Venice outside.

And I didn't want to raise precocious children. . . .

(Though, the preschool teacher calls them "worldly!")
