Big Day For Little Girl
Benjy, my four year old daughter started her first day of junior kindergarten today. It was pretty much a non-event. No sobbing and carrying on like Frankie at her age. She was very excited, and when she got there, she met some other pink-minded girls and off she went.
As Arthur and I walked back to the car, I sniffled, but only because there was a chill in the air.

I think Moms and Dads have more trouble with major kid milestones than the kids do. When I brought our little man, Noah, to his first day of JK yesterday, I almost didn't make it out without getting teary. As we walked in, he mugged for the camera and bantered with his friends. After I handed him off to his teacher, I kept making excuses to hang around for just a minute longer, hoping I could just watch him and never forget what it felt like to be doing so.
Thankfully the moment exists in my mind. I captured it in my journal so one day he'll read about it, too.
Hi there. I'm pretty sure this is my first comment here, so let me give you a bit of history.
'Twas your name that drew me here. I'm a big Adams fan too. Have you read The Long, Dark, Teatime of the Soul?
And now, a question. At the end of LTU&E, when Wowbagger says to Aruthur, 'I've done you before, haven't I?' do you think he gives up?
And now, my comment on your emotional first day of school: Yes, that moring chill can bring a ready tear to my eye as well.
Anyhow, if you get bored, come visit me.

Oh, and I have to know. Is Arthur his real name, or are you just toying with us?
It's unplesantly like being drunk.

Such a sweet post - thank you so much for sharing.
T.J. - thanks for your comments. In regards to Wowbagger - I'm of the opinion that he did not give up, as he showed up again in the The Salmon of Doubt and insults Ghengis Khan, which is alphabetically after Arthur. But that's just my two cents. And, no, Arthur isn't his real name - I'm toying with you. But isn't that more fun? Ask a glass of water.
Rachel - thanks for reading and sharing.
Ah, I have yet to peruse the Salmon, and yes, being toyed with is funner.
And the bug-eyed alien?
