Just to start things off...

Darcy and I are the proud and occasionally mortified parent/stepparent of a 4 year old goofball.  He's bright, precocious, outgoing, imaginative, and has no apparent filter when it comes to social situations.  Which makes for consistently excellent entertainment opportunities.

Today:

Darcy: "What are you going to take for show and tell tomorrow?"
The Kid: "My dance moves"

Really?  Ok...this is preschool so anything goes, I suppose. My guess is that it's typically toys? A stuffed animal. Barbie. A ball.  I'd expect that favorite movies are probably common. Pictures from summer vacation.  Maybe a flower or something from the garden.  Fall leaves would be good, too. I'd bring a big ugly Hubbard Squash. Name it Vince or Helga. That'd be awesome. Scare the other kids.

I asked, "Working on his dance moves?"  Of course at this point I'm thinking he was just being funny, but Darcy says, "Actually, yes.  He showed them to me.  I guess he showed his dad last night.  He really IS taking his dance moves."

Good lord.
