“My kindergartner wears black basketball shorts and white compression tights everywhere, but one weekend he added green dress socks. I told him they didn’t match. He pulled the pockets of his shorts inside out and said, ‘Mom! This is green! I do match!’” ––Tiffani, McKinney
“My son has two sets of first-day-of-kindergarten photos because when we got to the school the first time, we realized we were one week early. We still laugh about it when we see our ‘Real First Day’ and ‘Fake First Day’ photos.” ––April, Arlington
“When my son was 4, he would take forever to get out of the car. I kept telling him if he didn’t hurry up I’d go inside without him. One day I decided to ‘teach him a lesson’ and went inside the house without him for less than a minute. He’s 14 now and still is convinced I forgot him.” ––Kim, Flower Mound
