OH, THOSE WILD AND SCARY
MORNING KINDERGARTEN GIRLS

Maddy is going to take an arts and crafts class one morning a week this summer from her kindergarten teacher. Maddy and one other girl from the afternoon kindergarten class will join two girls from the morning class in this weekly excursion into the wonderful world of creativity. It’s also a way for a dedicated but highly underpaid teacher in a Christian school to make a little summer money, which we’re all for, and a great way for Maddy to meet some new kids.

But she expressed concern about that very thing. In fact, she was worried. Her little brows knit in consternation. She acted like she was afraid of the other two girls.

Maddy? SHY? The social butterfly of the western world?

Something was bothering her about those girls, all right. Finally, she spilled her guts. “The girls in the morning kindergarten class all have . . . CURLY HAIR!” She covered her face with her hands with a half-laugh, half-sob, like when you’re really frightened but you know you shouldn’t be.

Sounds like someone’s mother has neglected to teach her about . . . diversity?!?
