Speaking Kindergarten
Who is where and what is we and who is they?
Confused?
Wait for it.
She is he and they is we and where is what?
Somehow these things are starting to make more sense every day.
I used to not understand, but I am struggling now.
Because what is she and where are they and why is he?
It does not help that the kindergarteners all speak like this, and do not understand the
Difference between he and she. We are all he’s here.
The longer you work in a school, the more this stuff starts to sink in.
She said he and we were they, and that was then.
Tears now.
Okay, let’s slow it down.
One more time, please.
By the way, one more time is really optimistic.
Many of the kindergarten students whisper their whispers.
It will more likely be six more times.
There is no way in the world I could speak kindergarten all day long.
