I could tell Zach was worrying about something and I had a feeling it might have to do with the ever impending first day of school. Sunday morning as I was making waffles I said, "Zachie why don't you sit here and lets talk about what you can expect in first grade." I then proceeded to describe all the wonderful things he is going to get to experience while in full day of school. I used as many graphic adjectives as I could think of that related to the word fun. When I felt like I had done first grade justice I asked him if he had any questions. He said he really only had justone. "Mom," he said, "When they do the underware checks in first grade...............do they do them everyday?" Puzzled I said, "underware checks?" He replied, "Yeah, you know the underware checks. Where they make sure you are wearing underware. Carver and Taylor told me about them" "Oh, those checks......" I responded.......(thinking this would promote underware wearing)....."yes, I am pretty sure they check every single day." Then Zach responded with, "So do you like just pull down your pants and show your them your underware?".........................................(I was thinking, "Yes, Zach, that is exactly what you do")................he followed that up with, "Do you show them the front of your underware or the back of your underware?"
