Everything I Need To Know About Kindergarten, I Learn From A Kindergartener

1. "There used to be a just-one-number-bigger-than-Ian* crazy-kid on the bus." "Used to," it turns out, because, although he' still on the bus, he' not so crazy any more.

2. Some kids stand up on the bus, which isn't good.

3. Daniel's preferred activities at school are recess, lunch and being a "busy-bee," which sounds like a job description.

*That was the "word." In German, it really would be a word, for people besides Daniel, but it would be several syllables longer.
