First Day of Kindergarten

This past Tuesday was the first day of Kindergarten for the Lollygagger. Some of her preschool friends have joined her in her class, while some others have been farmed out to another class.

It was my hope The Lollygagger would meet another little boy who would become her new BFF. She had her heart broken in her preschool year by Matthew. They were to marry, after all, and he broke her heart by running off with another girl. She pined all summer.

Then she got the Thank You card from another boy who's birthday party she attended. The closing said "Love Ben." She thought that meant he actually loved her. She was on track to forget all about the first guy, what's-his-name. But it was destined to end.

While in Summer Camp, she met a new boy, Brenden. Brenden, it turns out is also attending the same karate dojo, and they see each other twice a week in the evenings as well as at school. He's a year older, so they only see each other on the playground.

Turns out the same little girl who Matthew ran off with at the end of last year is in her class. She spotted The Lollygagger playing with her newest BFF, Brenden, and moved in for the kill. Will Brenden take the bait? Will he turn into another Matthew? Will the Lollygagger idelly sit by and watch it all happen again or will she pull out the hair of the little boy-steeling "meanie" before she can steel Brenden away?

I thought this stuff started in High School. How is it such drama happens in Kindergarten?

Stay tuned.
