Emma's Vision for a Brighter Education

Today Ian and I went to pick Emma up from preschool. She immediately hugged me and told me she had been a little sad today because she missed me. Her teacher, Ms Ann Marie, told me that yes, in fact, she had noticed herself that Emma was a little sad today, especially when the class was on the playground. Ms Ann Marie asked Emma to come sit by her on the bench while the other kids were playing. She told Emma that she noticed she was a little sad today and asked her what was wrong. Emma told her, "I want a dog." Yes, this has started again in our house now that our neighbors have just bought their third pet dog. Then Emma proceeds to tell her teacher that school is boring. As Ms Ann Marie tries to cover her mouth to keep from laughing she asks, "Well what can we do to make school better?" Emma quickly answers (so you know she has given this a lot of thought), " A pool and free dogs!" Ms Ann Marie told Emma, "Well that would make it more exciting!" Emma is in for major disappointment in Kindergarten where there are no swimming pools and no free dogs!!! Maybe this is the incentive Emma needs for a future in politics....
