Alexander came home today wearing one of his indoor shoes and one of his outdoor shoes, both of them were the left feet. He also had someone else's lunch box and his shirt was tucked into his underwear that was pulled up to his armpits.And people ask my why I did not put him into French immersion. I just want my kid to come home with everything we sent him to school with and still dressed ...we'll work on learning a second language latter.
When I was in school we did not have the option of French immersion until grade 7 but now they like to start kids early. Makes sense I suppose, the younger you are the easier it is too pick up a second language.My primary teacher had a thick Indian accent and now every time I get a telemarketing call I think of the time I ate a whole bottle of glue and threw up on the kid who sat behind me... oh and my obsession with that blue sticky stuff teachers used to hang things on the wall. I loved that stuff, I wonder if they still make it? I have to go look now. Just think of the stuff I could stick up around everywhere with that! I am going to make "lost ,reward if found" posters of all my neighbors to hang up on lamp polls and then watch the freaks run around looking for each other! It will be almost as fun as last years scavenger hunt through the dumpsters.
Maybe I should of put Alexander in French immersion so he can have the best chance of getting a good job and not living in a neighborhood were the wealthiest person is not the buddy who sells oranges on the side of the 103 highway.....who also wears his undies up to his armpits.
I am not worried about Alexander, the kid is already smarter than me, he has a grasp on basic math that I didn't have until high school and he already spells better than his Dad....and he knows his way around a computer better than I do so he can help me make the posters to but up around the street :)
