The Wisdom of Five

Gamble’s been in summer pre-school for a few weeks now, and we’ve noticed an odd effect. Momma and Pabu take Gamble to school every morning, and all goes well. Swimmingly, in fact. He’s so excited to be in school that he rushes in, and he runs down the halls to his classroom.

No, it’s not getting to school that’s the issue. He knows right where to put his backpack, and today, on his birthday, he was allowed to feed their guinea pig, Fluffy.

No, it’s all about coming home. When they pick him back up, generally Random gets really mad, and typically cries for the entire ten minutes it takes to get home.

Funny thing is, she loves her brother. They play together all the time, and often when they’ve been apart for a while, she squeals with delight when he resurfaces. She’s usually not upset to see him. But every day, this happens.

I got a call from Nicole today saying that Gamble’s taking it in stride. He got in the car today, and of course, she started crying.

Gamble looked up at Nicole and said, “I think she’s just upset because she doesn’t have a weiner.”

Oh-h-h... Is that what girls are always so upset about?
