Forgetful

School has been out for a whopping four days and Sage was watching the Nick channel in the afternoon. A commercial came on for Sylvan, a children's tutoring service, where the little boy gets out of the pool and while he shakes water out of his ear, all the learning he'd done in the past school year falls out as well. Sylvan implores the parents to enroll their child in the summer program so their child won't fall behind.

Sage watched the commercial raptly, then yelped, "Oh... gosh!" in an extremely dismayed tone.

"What's the matter?" I asked, thinking he'd hurt himself.

"I think I've forgotten everything I learned in kindergarten!"

"What?!!" Unaware of what commercial he'd just been watching.

"Oh no, wait a minute...." His little body relaxed. "No, it's okay. I didn't forget. I can remember what I learned."

Oh good! I hate it when I forget a whole year's worth of learning and actvities. That sucks! Have a better day.
