    First??

    Are you kidding me?

    Little dinosaurs ran to their preschool teachers wailing “Steggie pushed Velo”, (along with “Pterrie is copying me”, Bronnie is following me" … and of course, “make Tyro quit touching me.”)

     

    Of course, it’s true that the complaints weren’t recorded back then….

    not till Paleolithic caveschool teachers started painting pictures of the violations on the walls…..

    and notifying parents by sending home chipped rocks in the kids’ leopard-skin backpacks.

     

    When I worked part time in a big daycare, in college, back before the internet….. or typewriters, or quill pens….

    I swore that there was a class called “Whining for 5-year-olds” that started on the first day of kindergarten,

    and taught all my (previously) sweet 4 year-olds to come running to me with news of every perceived infraction.
