Miss America's Poignant Pearl of the Week:
On starting Kindergarten:
"I don't really wanna go to school, Nana.
"I don't really wanna go to school, Nana.
Cuz there's reading and numbers and a lot of be quiet going on."

Yeah, all that "be quiet" goin' on is a turn off... ;D
Why not just let her skip kindergarten and go to High School? She's so full of wisdom... no need to waste her time on kindergarten now is there?

you might want to tell her you never outgrow the "Quiet Time"..... you hate to see it coming as a child....
and as an adult, you covet it, like the last piece of devil's food cake.....
Clearly, this is a child who is going to grow up to be a wise woman of the universe.....
she cracks me up. were your daughters like her when they were young or is miss america like her nana??? : )
LOL Love the "lot of be quiet going on" Too cute!
Oh my she is too young to think like that...but funny!
See - even then I was a nerd. I loved to read & do math - & I absolutely loved the quiet. Sad, I know.
we hates the "be quiet"... very adorable!
Let's cross our fingers she gets a teacher who understands 5 year olds, and that they learn better when they get to enjoy it.
Now, how can you argue with that?!?!
It's good to figure that out early.
She is dead right! Not only that 'be quiet nonsense, but there's always this really bossy person standing at the head of the class telling you what to do!
LOL, I love the kid-speak!
Huh, that's exactly why I would want to go to school!
Wow can we get this girl to talk to some of the higher ups in education and school reform, i think that was a pretty good sum it up moment!
Those are the exact 3 reasons I never liked school.
gotta love the wisdom of this little girl!

I know exactly what she means. I feel the same way about work. Love that kid!
She's a girl after my own heart!
She is adorable and smart, too. I hated the bein quiet stuff, too.
Oh, I love Blue Ridge Gal's comment... just enroll Miss America in high school!
Uh huh, right you are Miss America! School sucks, but shhhh don't tell anyone I told ya that.
Btw... shouldn't your header says a Cheese Grin, and not a Grin Cheese???
Justine :o )
