July 31, 2007 Wherein I Try to Keep a Straight Face 
Frances is graduating today. She is going to wear a cap and get a certificate and have a ceremony and everything. There will be treats and, of course, Mummy and Daddy will be in attendance. (mouth twitching, trying not to giggle) Frances will be wearing a special party dress we bought for the occasion yesterday evening, when I discovered that the only dress she has right now is sized nine months and is actually noticeably too small. Mummy is wearing a skirt; Frances requested that I dance "like a ballerina" in it. And we have been told that she wants to be a "beyooootiful princess." So she may be wearing a crown when she is not wearing her cap. I will try very hard to take a blog-safe photo, Dear Readers.

Yes, you cannot tease us with that and then not show us how it all comes together. Posted by: NotSoSage at July 31, 2007 10:40 AM
I would love to see a blog-safe picture. You must be beside yourself. Posted by: yankee,transferred at July 31, 2007 10:57 AM
Am I the only one who finds the idea of graduating from pre-school to be slightly ridiculous? Cute as all get out, yes, but just a little too...I dunno, silly. It just seems a bit much. I'm a curmudgeon of the highest order, obviously. I'm going back in my cave now, it's ok. Posted by: julia at July 31, 2007 12:47 PM
I think pre-school graduations are silly, and I love them!!! Posted by: Emily at July 31, 2007 2:16 PM
Squeeee! Must see pictures! Posted by: liz at July 31, 2007 4:27 PM
Nope, julia, I think they are absolutely ridiculous. But, you know, it's Frances. That makes it ok. Posted by: Andrea at July 31, 2007 5:05 PM

Earn Your Karmic Brownie Points The WHOYCBE Not So Secret Spoilers These links open in a new browser window. Random Writer's Quote Writing is so personal, so profoundly and terribly personal. Your entire personality goes into every word. The hesitation between one word and another is filled with many centuries, much space.
