Report Card
I met April at the front door of our apartment buildling. She was standing in the snow with Teo asleep in a sling inside her coat and pushing Alleke in the stroller, who was busy admiring her mittens.
As we walked down the slushy street together towards a friend’s house, April handed me a white piece of paper.
“It’s Alleke first report card,” she said.
She stared at the piece of paper in my hand like it was a crossword puzzle that had stumped her.
“I can’t decide if I’m going to look at it,” she said. “She’s three years old. I don’t care what her report card says, but if I look at it, I will.”

I would read it. You don't have to take any notice of it. It might pleasantly surprise you. If not, it might tell you something about those writing it.

I would read it too. it's not about grades, it's about development and you can only help your kids if you have all the info. Whether it's good or bad, you don't have to accept it, but you can consider it…and I agree, you will probably be pleasantly surprised…

I'd be dying to know!
Besides, it's Alleke… all it will say is Perfect Angel
