Henry's First Day of Kindergarten

Henry is "officially" in school. I dropped him off at kindergarten today. Funny kid. I walked him to his class, introduced him to his teacher -- to which he politely handed over an apple, and then he scanned his classroom for about five minutes.

A couple of typical Henry exclamations followed upon discovering his classroom:

1. "Cool. The bathrooms are connected to my classroom!"

My translation: Henry goes full-Monty any time he uses the restroom. He's bound to finally discover that dropping 'trou every time you pee is not socially acceptable. Nor is leaving a deuce in the launch tube. He's going to learn so much this year.

2. "Check out those computers!"

My translation: Henry will be downloading "Crazy Frog" on the school computers and may God help them.

3. "Have a good day at work, Dad."

My translation: You'd think it would have been me wishing him a good day at school, but that's the H-Man. He beat me to it. He gave me a hug and a kiss and then told me in his matter-of-fact way to have a good day at work. I couldn't breathe I was so amazed at my son.

Apparently, the first day of kindergarten is just another day in the life for the Hankster.

Maybe for him, but not for me.
