Yesterday at lunchtime. B (aged three) is beaming. Mama takes the opportunity and plunges in ...
Mama : Darling, tomorrow we'll go to kindergarten with AJ...
B : (stops beaming, starts frowning)
Mama : We can meet your maestra, see all of your friends, and play and do painting...
B : (stops frowning, lip starts to quiver)
Mama : I'll leave you in kindergarten and go to do some shopping, and I'll come back for you and AJ after a short while...
B : (lips quiver, tears start to stream, eyes become big - a picture of the pathetic)
Mama : But what's wrong, darling? You always told me you wanted to go...
B : (between heart-wracking sobs) But Mama, I don't want to go to kindergarten, I want to go to asilo!
It's a big day for a little girl. Good luck, sweetheart!
