liar, liar, pants on fire



i got to pre-school yesterday later than usual. as i walk the ramp down to her afternoon classroom, i heard a loud cry. i recognized the wailing as my daughter's. my mom instincts didn't tell me that she was hurt. well, not physically. i walked in the room with the question, 'what happened?' plastered on my face. one of the stay and play teachers approached me and told me that kailea's feelings got hurt. 'huh?' rilyn, one of her best friends called her a liar. rilyn said she was making up going to swim class, so she can get picked up from pre-school early. it was mid afternoon, it was freaking hot, it was the brand. she cried her heart out. i let her. then hushed her. rilyn apologized. things were resolved. we had a talk in the car, on our way to swim class.

today, when i picked her up to go to swimming, she gave rilyn a big hug before running to the door. rilyn said, 'have a good swim.'
