“When my kids started preschool, the teachers had to take away all the fake bananas because all the boys would pick them up and pretend that they were guns.

“My nana was always a widow as long as I was alive; my grandfather died before I was born. All the women on my street - there were four houses in a row with all old women who lived alone who were widowed. They all had kids, but they were all widowed. My mom didn't put me in preschool; I didn't know that was a thing. I just hung out with these women all day.” KnowsLongKidsHouseBornFourAliveStreetsMomDiedMy MomGrandfatherHungMy GrandfatherWidowsOld WomanFather DiedPreschoolWidowedGrandfather Died Author:Jen Kirkman
