I never knew how dirty kids can get until preschool happened.  Mya comes home with a crusty face, untamed hair and sand…sand…SAND everywhere!  Sometimes I wonder how they managed to get so filthy and wonder if the teachers have the kids make sand angels out in the sandbox on purpose to piss the parents off.  I’ve also wondered why preschoolers dress so horribly and now I know.  I now know that a sane mother would never send her child to school with nice clothes on and because I am completely sane, Mya is the worst dressed preschooler….ever.  I remember when Mya came home the first week of school and dumping out sand from her shoes and her pockets.  Yes…they collect sand…in their pockets and even hoods on jackets.  Once, I pulled the hood of Mya’s jacket over her head only to discover that there was about a cup of sand in it.  Now, I remember not to send her to school with a hood on.  That was probably number 254 in the “Mother’s Handbook”
