A Star

Saw this decal on a car today while I was walking to Alex’s lacrosse game.

My Kids a StarA star in preschool?

Does their preschooler feel pity towards the other kids who are furiously scribbling on their paper and shamefully coloring outside the lines?

While eating does their preschooler watch in horror as the other children continue to carry on a conversation with a piece of peanut butter on their face?

Does their preschooler shoot scornful looks as their classmates dare to dress up in mismatched clothing?

Next week I’m going to park my car next to the “star car.”

I’ve designed a decal for my car I’d like them to see.

Might conflict with the “Be kind to others” and “Everyone is important” messages we’ve been trying to foster in our children but I’m ready to chance it.

  1. All of those bumper stickers are the Adult Version of “one-upmanship” My kid is better than your kid etc. What if you have a normal, average kid that you are proud of? We need a bumper sticker for that!…..or I will just continue being proud of my daughter!

  2. Yikes. Those parents need a reality check…and I think your decal would be the perfect reality check!

  3. OMGosh, that is unbelievable! I can’t imagine the pressure for perfection that child must be feeling at home. It’s like they took the fun out of preschool!

  4. Yikes! As a former special education teacher, those stickers really bother me! I’ve never seen a preschool one, though. Thanks for all the comment love on my blog. I so appreciate your support. –Michelle

  5. Preschool is tough these days. haha. I like your sticker better.. gets straight to the point unlike the other decal. But honestly I think they just use those stickers as advertising. We have alot of schools do that down here and its kinda a ‘status thing’ to have your kids school decal on your car. Go figure.
