Discussing a fire drill at school that saw the kids standing outside for 25 minutes on the coldest day so far this fall.
Me: Were you allowed to take your coats?
Sophie: No, and it was cold.
Me: How did you keep warm?
Sophie: We tucked our hands in somewhere cozy and then jumped up and down.
Me: Thinking: Really? For 25 minutes. The image of a school yard of 450+ kids with their hands tucked in their armpits while jumping up and down is priceless, even though I know she didn't mean everyone. Saying: Did you still have two recesses after that?
Sophie: Yep, and you know what? The best part was it was snack time as soon as we went in.
Kindergarten and already our priorities are straight - snack and recess a MUST.
