"My baby!"

This week, in the car on the way in sending 5 year old microWombie to kindergarten...

microW : "Daddy, today you don't have to walk me to my class."

Wombat : "But why?"

microW : "Nothing. I just want to walk to my classroom alone."

Wombat : "But but but..."

microW : "No buts Daddy."

Car stops in front of kindergarten. MicroW hops out.

microW : "Bye bye daddy."

Wombat : "Bye bye."

Kindergarten gate keeper to friend : "Why is that man in the car crying ah?"

Friend : "Beats me."
