My son, James, told us
he's a bit nervous about
going back to school.
I Remember
I remember being nervous at the start of the year
in elementary, even later. Will I be with friends?
Will the kids be kind hearted?
It's not that much different now as a teacher.
Good Omen
When I went in to ready my classroom
yesterday, I found a praying mantis
on the window. This being the third floor,
I saw it as an auspicious beginning.
Message
So, I told these things to my son
about my nervousness, as a kid and now.
I told him about the praying mantis,
how I thought it was good luck.
Response
He listened politely,
but looked unconvinced.
School starts Monday.
