My Daughter's First Day

It's my oldest daughter's first day in kintergarden...and I'm not pleased.

It's mostly my fault that she's attending school today, because my wife didn't understand how serious I was, and I didn't take the time and effort to express how serious I was until she handed me some paperwork to review, about two weeks before my daughter was supposed to start school.

The misunderstanding is mutual, though:  I didn't understand how invested my wife was in the tradition--one only about a hundred years old--of sending children to school, and having the days to herself.

As a compromise, we've decided to send my daughter to kintergarden this year, and during this year, figure out what we would need to do to homeschool our children.
