Kindergarten and Shots

How do they effect a four year old girl?

This evening we were discussing with Matthew his progression through the grades and then onto college. Claire inserted comment at the end saying, "I don't want to go to Kindergarten

Jenn replied, "Yeah, I'm going to teach you how to read."

Claire said, "I don't want to get a shot."

Matthew had previously had shots prior to Kindergarten and Jenn had mentioned that they are needed before Kindergarten. So, here it is, perhaps a year later, she is realizing that Kindergarten means gettings shots. Boy, she must really dislike getting shots!

Claire added, "I'll just be stupid."

Of course, Jenn and are are simultaneously laughing and shocked. I said, "Claire, you are smart. We'll teach you how to read and you can be smart."

Claire cried, "I don't want to get a shot."

Claire asked, "Tomorrow I get a shot."

Jenn answered, "No."

Claire concluded, "Shot stupid!"

Our four year old Claire is so intent on avoiding shots that she's willing to throw out her education. Good thing we aren't letting her decide her educational roadmap.

    Kindergarten kids have always been quite annoying to me for some reason but the rushessay.com reviews says otherwise. I think I will be ready to write something about them once I get out of this boredom phase.
