Let me go ahead and say that it takes something very powerful to bring me to tears. Humble brag, but I am a very tough guy. In recent memory, I have only cried while watching A Star is Born and Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel (there is a part where the chubbiest chipmunk Theodore had to go out on stage and tell everyone Alvin wasn't going to be there, and it hit me hard). That being said, there I was just minding my own business, watching sports like a man does, and this commercial comes on. "Great, another car commercial," I groaned, not knowing that in a matter of a few seconds, I would be "Marley and Me-ed" for a lack of a better term.

​The education system is something that is constantly changing. If I had to make a guess, Kindergarten today is not at all what it was like during the time that you and I were there.  If you are in Kindergarten right now and you are reading this, then I’d be asking how the actual Hello Kitty have you learned to read this fast. I didn’t read “Junie B. Jones: Boss of Lunch,” until the first grade.
