1 Mother 2 Another

Don't talk to me right now - I'm getting
myself in the "kindergarten registration" zone.


Yes, in a few short hours I'll be stampeding the parking lot with
hundreds (yes, hundreds - this school has 4-5 kindergarten classes
each year, and registration's for K-6) of desperate and weepy-eyed
parents, clutching our manila folders and praying we've crossed
all our "t"s and dotted all our "i"s. There's rampant rumors that
they'll be taking the kids off for very brief testing to determine
which class is a good "fit" for the child - how the heck are we
supposed to cram for that? We're desperately hoping Maddie will be
in the same room as a good friend of hers, so the other mom and I
are wondering - should we use the same adjectives to describe our
daughters? Or different ones, if they're seeking diversity for
each class?


How can we best manipulate the situation to my daughter's
advantage?


I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes - unless I'm still
comatose from the trauma.
