why do you need to know anything else except your ABCs?


When I went to the U of U waaay back in 2002, I would come home from class every day and watch an episode of Kindergarten, an HBO documentary following a, well, Kindergarten class in New York state. I fell in love.

To this day I am still in love with the show. I adore each of the children, who are so tragically no longer five and six years old, but so totally the bratty ages of 14 and 15. A part of me wishes to see the people they are today, but a larger part of me longs to freeze them in time and not have to think of them (or see them) inching towards adulthood, pimpled out and depressed.
