So, two nights ago, Lauren is getting ready for bed, and she begins telling me a story about school that day. Now, it's important to note that Lauren has assimilated herself into the grouping of kids at preschool known as the Olders, as they're going to be going to kindergarten in the fall. She will not hear of it that she is technically a Younger.
One of the Youngers, who Lauren has been with since she was 3 mos. old, asked to play with Lauren and her friends. Lauren, who is quite the social leader, told her that they were playing High School Musical, and that it was "inappropriate" for her.
Stopped the story at this point to remind Lauren that this girl is the same age as her, and that her older friends are going to be leaving soon, she needs to be nice to everyone, these are the friends that she's going to have this fall, etc.
I'll be interested to see how Lauren adjusts in the fall. She'll either sink into depression, or be running the show. My guess is she'll be on the school's payroll.
