When Emma Lea entered Kindergarten she was so shy she did not want to leave Mom. She cried each morning as if she were being forced off to a concentration camp. Kenny who would soon turn 4 was excited about the whole idea of going to school and he made a fuss because he DID want to go.
On morning as Mom was trying to force Emma Lea out of the car at school and Kenny mad because he was being held back against his will, Mom said, "All right. Here is the lunch box."
Kenny went on into class as if he belonged and had a great day. When Mom and Emma Lea went to get him at the end of school day, Kenny marched out proudly with his empty lunch pail and the pictures he had colored. What a great day!
After that Ken was content to stay home and Emma Lea was willing to go to class to see what she was missing.
