this is reality?!

An update on the school front. If you think your kids are sweet and innocent... that ends at, oh, about 3rd grade.

Friday at school we had a drug bust on a ... get this... 4th grader. Yup, he had pot. Bragged about it to classmates. Bought it from a 5th grader.

And we don't go to some huge inner-city school where kids get lost in the cracks. We're pretty straight down the middle, middle class, average class size of about 100 kids, K-12 in the same building.

They're losing their innocence at a younger and younger age. Cherish the times your kids will sit with you and watch Elmo or Scooby Doo, or whatever kid-ish thing they're into. It ends all too soon.

I have noticed that 4th grade is when I can't stand most of the girls. I hate to think of what their parents must think of them, if I think they are all full of attitude!

crap. Rachel's in 3rd grade. Nat didn't get truly irritating until jr. high. i think you get a couple extra years of innocence with the oldest, but better watch out for the 2nd in line...

So I have a few years left before I have to encase Dean into that permanent glass bubble. Oh good. They are on back order rigth now.

Does a 4th grader even know what to do with pot?
