Conversations With a Kindergartener (Part of an Ongoing Series)

Setting: A sensible, four-door family sedan
Time: About 7:40 a.m.
Location: Halfway between home and school

Q: Dad, how long does Kindergarten last?

A: It's the same as your preschool. You'll go through Christmas, take a long break for the holidays, then go through spring.

Q: No, I mean, how long during the day?

A: Oh, right. You go from 8 in the morning until about 3 in the afternoon.

Q: So I go until night?

A: No, goofy. You go until mid-afternoon. Then you come home and rest and then we do something fun.

Q: Oh, man! That's all day. This kindergarten takes up too much of my time!
