I bet no one in this family even knows the true story of my kindergarten year. I bet they also do not know I skipped school the first days. That's right, went in the front door, bell would ring and I would go right back out the back door. Walk around, hang out and hide at David Vaughn's house, goof off, play, go to the store, play behind the church in the field by Dix Auto Parts, and then when it was time for school to get out, I would wait on the bell to ring, walk in the back door, go out the front door and walk home and tell them what a great day I had at school.
Then Mr. Breeding, the lovely school principal, busted me. Then he decided to tell my parents I was not mature enough and not ready to start school just yet and that I should be held out one more year before I enrolled to give me time to adjust and be well prepared.
God bless that man. He was the best principal I ever had and my first day of school was awesome. So was the rest of that whole year!
