Pearls of Wisdom

September 14, 2010 by Mindy 14 Comments

Future MENSA candidate

Apparently, preschool curriculum has advanced drastically since Avery attended 4 years ago. Jack, in his two half-days thus far experienced, has matured beyond my wildest imagination. He’s smart, witty and now bestows upon me little pearls of wisdom. If his current point-of-view is any indication, he’ll no doubt be a CEO of some huge corporation or wildly successful Captain of Industry in twenty-five years.

A glimpse into his psyche…

************************************

Jack: I had preschool today.

Me: I know buddy. Remember? I picked you up.

Jack: I know. I ‘member.

Me: Are you getting smarter Jack?

Jack: At what?

Me: At school?

Jack: Yep.

Me: Really? What are you learning?

Jack: Well, one super smart thing.

Me: Really? What’s that?

Jack: It’s not okay to pick your nose during circle time.

*****************************************

Yep. MENSA here we come. If he’s already realized that picking your nose isn’t an appropriate social activity then I can only imagine what’s coming up next.

    Took me a post-graduate degree and a dissertation to learn the same thing.

      Who knew my little man was such a fount of useful etiquette rules? Maybe he should start a blog and everyone’s little guys can start following it. πŸ™‚

    Not five minutes ago I witnessed a kindergartner picking his nose and eating it. So Jack is WAY ahead of the curve here.

      Either that or he’ll write a book about how I humiliated him. πŸ™‚

    Wait until he learns that girls do not, in fact, have cooties.

      For some reason, with this kid, I imagine it’ll be sooner than later. πŸ™‚

    This is just too hilarious. I’m glad you’re blogging about it because it’s probably one of those comments that you could forget about down the road. Now you’ve got a resource to come back to in case you forget…in a moment where you really want to embarrass him.
