Day one of kindergarten

Yesterday was the first day of kindergarten. There was this one little girl who was crying all morning. Not explosive temper-tantrum type crying; she was just being quiet and there were tears running down her cheeks.... You couldn't get impatient with her either, she was just so cute.... When she sat next to one of her new classmates, a little boy, he patted her on the back and told her, "It's OK...let it out...it's all right..." and kept doing it. It was just the most adorable thing. He was being so sweet.
At another point, I was sitting there hugging her and telling her that at two o'clock her daddy would be back to get her. Behind us, a lady asked Mrs. F who I was. "Oh, she's a high-schooler who's working with us on Mondays and Fridays this year."

"Oh. I just didn't know whether she was maybe her mother or something."
