"But Mommy, it’s been a long time since I met Grandma and Grandpa. I'd like to spend some time with them. I'm afraid that I’ll be busy with homework after this,” said Munchkin.
I started to worry whether or not it was because I had been reminding him over and over again that it made Munchkin realize how important his school homework was.
However, what Munchkin said was right. Even though there was not much school homework, Theo and I might not be able to pick him up from school if we were busy.
“Then why don't you spend the rest of your holidays at Grandma's house before your school starts? Then you can come back to stay with Daddy and Mommy after school starts. Are you okay with that?"
The little kid pondered for a moment, nodded, and replied, "Sure."
He readily agreed with my suggestion. Still, I was a little worried. I eventually shot a thoughtful glance at him and said, "Let's pick another school for you.”
I did not want Munchkin to feel upset. I knew he was a sensible child. After choosing his school, we asked for his opinions. Now that it had been one night after we rejected his suggestion, we also needed to give him some time to absorb everything.
Fortunately, Munchkin was not as fragile as I thought. He tilted his head and pondered for a moment. Then, the little kid turned to look at me and said, "Mommy, then I'd like to go to Cool Breeze
Elementary School.
I recalled for a moment. Cool Breeze Elementary School was a public school located in the middle of the city. We had gone to visit a few schools today and this school was not considered luxurious.
The school provided enough facilities, but their facilities were not as advanced as the other schools that upgraded their facilities yearly. Their school only had basic facilities.
Other than the library, computer room, and laboratory, there were no swimming pools, tennis court, and other facilities. It was not considered a top school in Whaldorf City.
However, there was one thing that impressed me. Their teachers were experienced and professional. There were quite many experienced teachers teaching there. That was why it was listed as one of our places to visit.
I liked Cool Breeze Elementary School when I first stepped into it.
There were not many garments or accessories. Boys would only get a simplelooking school uniform, a set of sportswear, a white-colored T-shirt, and a sweater.
That was all their students had. It was the same for the girls too.
It was unlike any of the other schools. They provided baseball jerseys and outfits for various occasions for their students.
When I was looking at the school uniforms, I was wondering if it was a photo of a kindergarten class. In the end, the principal told me that it was just a school uniform exhibition. It took a long time for me to come back to my senses.
Back in those days, our school uniform was simple, but things had changed so much.
I was lost in thoughts. Munchkin could not help but started to complain.
"I remember that the school principals showed us their school uniforms today. The other schools have too many uniforms. I’m afraid I won’t be able to remember which to wear and end up being a joke if I wear the wrong uniform to school,” said Munchkin.
