When I was 5, I loved kindergarten because we could finger paint at a big easel whenever we finished our work. I raced through letters and numbers so I could paint, and had it down enough that I was painting much of the day.

Unfortunately, I didn't understand how that looked to adults: Like too much fun.

One night my parents got a call from the teacher saying I obviously was ready for first grade. After 6 weeks in kindergarten, I was moved to a classroom with desks, no naps, no milk and cookies, and no easels -- childhood's end.
