Siena has been in kindergarten for five weeks now. I usually pick her up after school three days per week, along with a friend who lives a block from us. The 10-minute car ride gives us time to chat about what happened that day. Last week, I asked the standard question, “How was the day?”

Siena: Daddy, we had a sub today.
Matt: Oh yeah? A sub, huh? Was it a he or a she? Was he or she young or old?
Siena: The sub was a girl…I think she was kinda young. She was like a mom.
Matt: Uhhh, a mom, huh?
Siena: Other subs have been like grandmas.

The girls then started talking about grandmas in the back seat and all the things they do for them.
