Dear Lucy,

So, tomorrow, Katie's grandson Ian starts kindergarten. He has been worried about it as he doesn't think he is ready...He is five years old and worried about being ready for kindergarten.

Seems, these days, kids have to know a certain list of words, letters, numbers and so on, for kindergarten.

When I went to kindergarten all I had to know was milk and cookie time and naps!

Seems to me I recall that there was a book written, "All I ever needed to know I learned in Kindergarten" or something to that effect.

Well, for those of you still behind, cheer up. There is a pre-kindergarten available these days.

What is the world coming to?
