First Day of School at New Location

I dropped Jory off at the daycare. The night before we had stopped by Ms Adina’s and Ms Crystal’s daycare so he could be introduced and see where he would be spending his school year. Kids were around playing, he found a car and started riding around. He was his usual pretend shy self.

I showed Ms Adina, who would be helping Jory with his schoolwork, what we were working on, what his math worksheets would look like, and his spelling words. I felt good, then I saw the cat, but bygones. Have I mentioned how cats are evil?

The next morning, I was running slightly, behind but I walked him in to and the smell of breakfast cooking filled my nostrils. This was good, a good beginning. Ms Crystal greeted Jory at the door. I gave him a hug and a kiss, then I was off. I was slightly late to work, but it was nice that Jory’s daycare is close by.

I got there a little before six and he ran to me to hug me. I asked how he did and they said other than getting into a few things he wasn’t suppose to, just learning the rules of the place, he did well and he did well on his worksheets.

We got into the car and drove away.

“Mommy, I don’t like that place.”

“What? Why?”

“Because I was petting the cat and he pooped and I almost touched it.”

I knew I hated animals for good reasons. “Let’s concentrate on the important thing, you didn’t touch it. You almost touched it. What did you do when he pooped? Did you tell anyone?”

“Yes.”

“And what did they do? Did they clean it up?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, then it was fine.”

“No, because it still smelled.”

Oh my gosh, Lois Jean. My mother’s clone is sitting behind me talking about what he almost touched and what he smelled. “Jory, didn’t they clean it up and spray some Lysol or something?”

“Yes, but I could still smell it.”

I’m sure you did lil’ LJ. I’m sure you did, LJ. How often do cats have accidents? I think I’m going to have to investigate this further.

New chapters are always so much fun.
