Accidental Kindergartner
On August 5, I went to my local school district to figure out what was going on with my five-year-old’s enrollment.
I had submitted everything on time, but she wasn’t assigned to a school or teacher.
After calling with no response, I decided to go in person.
I waited four hours.
Finally, I spoke to someone, and they fixed the issue.
Or so I thought.
On August 8, I was excited.
First day of kindergarten.
I dropped her off, walked in smiling, and said:
“I have a new student here.”
The secretary looked confused.
She checked the system and said:
“I don’t see her… but I see you.”
Excuse me?
Turns out…
I was the one enrolled in kindergarten. 
I tried to stay composed, but internally I was cracking up.
Like… how does this even happen?
I had to go BACK to the school board and wait another three hours—with two kids this time.
When they finally reviewed everything, they realized:
They made a mistake.
My daughter is now officially enrolled.
And me?
I can proudly say I was an accidental kindergartner for 72 hours.
And yes…
This will absolutely be a story for the grandkids.
