“You didn’t have to follow me”

Speaking of the girls getting bigger (and how they’ll soon grow out of certain activities), they scolded me at dinner last night about that morning’s drop-off. They had both run ahead of me when we walked into school, and I stopped by each of their classrooms to say good-bye before taking off. This, I was told, was not cool – and not something done by other parents.

“You didn’t have to follow me,” complained Avery. “I mean, it’s okay to walk me into the classroom but not to come in after me.” And though I just popped my head into Zoe’s class (I didn’t even walk in!) she found it “embarrassing.”

Sigh.
