“Good morning, sweet baby,” she said. “Let’s get up. It’s the first day of Kindergarten” I don’t care. I’m so sleepy. I say again, “NO!” and try to go back to sleep. But then I remembered something important. Today IS the first day of Kindergarten. Now I CAN’T go back to sleep, cause I don’t want to go and Mama is still taking pictures of me.
Mama feeds Garlic. That’s my fish. I wanted to name him after a spice. I feed him every day. He’s my fish. But today Mama fed him. That means we are in a hurry. I get out of bed. I don’t want to brush my teeth because after I brush teeth we have to go downstairs and get ready for kindergarten. I don’t really want to go to kindergarten. I like my stripy toothpaste but we are out. I don’t like that at all. Mama goes to get the Aim out of her bathroom. I like that even better. That’s DADDY’s toothpaste. And it’s awesome.
I have to put on school clothes. Mama says it’s called a uniform. I don’t like it. It itches. It has a tag. I don’t like tags. I tell Mama again that I want to wear sweatpants. She’s putting my shirt INSIDE of my pants. I don’t like that either. I try to pull it out. Mama gets that look on her face like she is starting to get mad. So I just stop and ask for sweatpants again. Mama is really tucking in that shirt real good though, so she doesn’t hear me.
Then Mama wakes up my little bother. I call him that just like Olivia on TV calls her little brother that. Only, he’s too little to know what that means. When I call him that he just says, “Yes, I AM!” That makes me mad.
I got to pick out my own cereal from the store yesterday and I picked out Life because that’s my favorite. Actually I really want to get one of the cartoon cereals but Mama never lets me. She says she’s not feeding me dessert for breakfast. Then she tells me that we don’t need to eat things with colors in them. Like colors are BAD. But I LIKE pink hearts in my cereal. At the store, I told her, “When I’m a grown up I’m going to eat Lucky Charms for breakfast every day.” She said that was fine, but she wasn’t paying for it. That doesn’t even make any sense.
I don’t want to eat my cereal. My tummy feels like I’m going to throw up. I tell Mama that my tummy hurts and she says it’s ok to have butterflies in my tummy. I get real quiet when she says that. She says some other stuff too, but I don’t hear cause I feel like I’m going to throw up. I wait on my little bother to finish his breakfast. He’s eating MY cereal. But I don’t hit him, because I feel like I’m going to throw up.
Mama takes more pictures. We get in the car and go to my new school. The whole time there Mama is talking so much about how I’m going to love Kindergarten and how much fun it’s going to be. She’s acting really happy that I’m going to kindergarten. She’s acting real weird.
We get into the parking lot and Mama explains that she’s just going to drop me off. I want her to go in with me, but she says she can’t. She says it’s the rules. I have to take off my seatbelt while the car is in the parking lot. “THAT IS NOT EVEN SAFE!” I tell her, but she says it’s ok so I do it anyway. I get to stand in front of my seat while the car is moving in the parking lot. I really like that part.
When we stop the car a lady comes and gets me out. I forgot to give Mama a kiss like she said I had to and I try to get back into the car, but the lady won’t let me. I yell, “I LOVE YOU” real loud so that Mama hears me. Then I blow her one hundred kisses and the lady takes me away from the car. Just then another lady comes up to me. She’s acting real happy too. She tells me how cool my Scooby Doo lunch box is, but I don’t answer her. I look back to see where Mama and brother are going. And they are LEAVING.
I don’t cry though. I’m a kindergartener now. I am amazing. And Mama is proud.
