So, having two boys as close in age as the boy and his cousin are living under the same roof has taught me many things. Mostly that little boys (and their sisters) really want to be first. At everything. Going in the door. Getting their food. They even only want to use the number one Wii remote.
Which brings us to today. I asked Kindergarten to get into a circle, and two boys were lagging behind, bickering in Spanish. I asked them, “Are you arguing about who gets to go first?” They sheepishly hung their heads, said, “Yes.” and sat down. The little girl sitting next to me asked, “Did you learn Spanish over break?”
I said, “No. But I’m pretty fluent in 5-year-old boy.”

Yes sometimes a raised hand and a puzzled look turns me into a mind reader.
And what’s up with the first thing? Do you suppose it’s genetic to all humans?
