This afternoon on the way home from work, we were all chatting, and somehow we ended up talking briefly about something annoying that teenagers do (the details aren't important nor do I remember them that well). Reminded of what teenagers are like, I called back to Nicholas, "Could you please stay three for a while?"
"I'll be three, but only for a little while," he replied. "And on my next birthday I'll be four!"
We were suitably impressed that he'd put that together, though it's unclear whether he realizes his next birthday is eight months from now. But then he continued, "And then I'll be five!" He was ecstatic, so Sarah asked him why he wanted to be five, that is, what excited him that five-year-olds get to do. His reply?
"I want to go to elementary school! And kindergarten."
We discussed it a bit, and all of us agreed that kindergarten will be fun because it's a lot like pre-school, only better. Also, can you tell this is the son of two academics or what?
