"Mom, you aren't allowed to cry until the second day or I won't let you play with my stuffed animals."
"I'm a school ager now, mom."
"I'm glad I got to see Kaden after school."
On my first day, I told mom that she could drop me off at the door, and I'd be fine. She did, and as far as I could see mom didn't cry too much. When mom came to pick me up, I was really quiet and wouldn't even look at her. School was really scary, and I thought that my teacher, Mrs. Vance was scary, too.
