Still the Baby

I am going to COMPLETELY ignore that thing where a tiny infant is suddenly a sophomore in high school and instead question HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?

Second grade, y'all. SECOND GRADE.

I'm not sure who decided to let babies into second grade, but here we are. I think maybe this is extra stunning because 2020 just plain didn't exist. Right? We all agree on that fact, don't we? 2020 shall be eliminated from the history books because it wasn't worth the ink it would take to write about. So that means first grade wasn't a real thing, which turns into my kindergartener jumped straight to second grade.

That's the only possible explanation.

So far, Mila is over the moon with excitement about returning to school. While cyber school went -really- well during that year that didn't exist, she is back at a brick and mortar. It is still to be determined if that was a terrible decision, but it was based on the fact that school administration mostly has their act together.

Many of the parents in our district, on the other hand, are out of their freaking minds. There are numerous groups gaining traction in an attempt to declare their child's freedom to not wear a mask and ... spread a potentially deadly virus to the entire community.

I don't get it.

And don't even try to explain the whole thing to that happy little second grader up in that photo. She has HAD IT with people not understanding that wearing a mask is no big deal. In fact, she has officially crossed over into being a person who plans her outfits around her carefully selected mask because she wants to match from head to toe.

Just like a tiny baby would. Ahem.
