The kids are back to school; a relief for mothers everywhere and scary as hell for the kindergartners. I remember well my first day of school. (I don't know what I had for lunch yesterday but I can recall that infamous day 65 years ago). My mother and I walked the 10 blocks to school and she deposited me in a huge cave guarded by an old witch. She had wild white hair, a sharp nose and piercing eyes. I was terrified. Then, unbelievably, my mommy left me there! I was deserted in a roomful of crying 5 year olds. What to do? I finally sat down on my rug and waited for things to happen. It didn't take long. As I glanced at the girl next to me, a stream started running from her rug. I was going to be okay---at least I didn't do THAT!
