Dear fellow parents of young children,
I’ve been pondering this for quite some time, and I feel it’s necessary to share my suspicions with all of you for your own benefit. I genuinely believe that my daughter’s preschool is part of a secretive, early CIA initiative, and I’m not alone in feeling this way; I’m merely scratching the surface of a much larger issue.
I suspect that these kids have taken a vow of silence, acting as loyal protectors of our nation’s interests. Think about it: if your child is enrolled in full-time preschool, they spend a solid 5–6 hours a day there! Yet, what do you truly know about their activities? Besides a few staged weekly photos, some arts and crafts, and the occasional party to distract us, not much!
I have pieced together some compelling reasons to support my theory.
- Mysterious Activities
When I asked my 3-and-a-half-year-old daughter about her day, she responded simply: “We did lots of stuff.” That was it—just “stuff.” Normally, her vocabulary includes words like “happy” and “love,” but when it comes to preschool, it’s all about the vague “stuff.” Even after pressing her with specific questions, like “Did you paint today?” I was met with a dismissive head shake. - A Code of Silence
It’s as if the preschool’s unofficial anthem is the Go-Go’s “Our Lips Are Sealed.” No matter what I ask, she provides little to no details about her day. If you were to ask me about my day, I could go on for ages! But my daughter—only after school ends—does she open up, and even then, it’s a challenge to get a word in edgewise. - Suspicious Photographs
Each week, I receive school photos of her, yet she never looks directly at the camera. It’s as if she’s hiding something. Is she avoiding eye contact to keep her secrets safe? - The Enigmatic Circle Time
I theorize that circle time is where children receive instructions to test parental reactions and gauge empathy levels. For instance, when I asked about circle time yesterday, she mentioned a classmate crying, but only after delivering a guilt-inducing remark about him missing his mommy. Clever little deflector! - The Lego Conspiracy
What’s up with Legos being a staple in every preschool? What are they building, and for whom? Is there a secret factory these little builders are part of? I can’t help but wonder. - The Double Life
Her teachers describe her as a polite and sociable child, but at home, she can unleash a tantrum over the smallest thing, like wanting more Goldfish crackers. Who is this different child? - Unexplained Stains
One day, she came home with an orange stain. After questioning her, she insisted she painted with green. What is going on at that school? - Snack Time Confessions
Despite her silence on most topics, she does share details about snack time—mostly complaints about what I provided. It’s as if she knows she has to give us something or risk a meltdown. - Backpack Secrecy
Her backpack never leaves her side, even during the car ride home. It’s like she’s guarding top-secret documents. - The Nut Dilemma
Despite attending a nut-free school, I often find myself wrestling her breakfast bars from her grip. Why the secrecy over these snacks?
And lastly, how is it that my child, who fights nap time at home, easily submits to it at preschool? What mind control is at play during this so-called nap time? This is a mystery I am determined to uncover.
