Toddler Socialism

In the grand realm of things in life this is not a big deal, but it greatly upset my child.

Nora goes to St. Andrew's Preschool at our Methodist Church. They have been teaching them about Easter and the meaning of all the religious symbols surrounding the holiday.

Of course, I really don't think 2 yr olds fully grasp that an egg is symbolic of new life and the life in heaven that Christ promised us through his crucifixion and resurrection..

What Nora now understands is that she is an AWESOME egg hunter.

That there is candy in these eggs.

If you go fast, you find more.

That her basket was taken from her and the great effort. She found about 15 total.

AND, her eggs were separated out to the kiddos that didn't find as many as her.

Her take home haul was only 8 eggs. WHICH she noticed was less than what was there originally.

So, today Nora has had a opportunity to experience toddler socialism. She worked hard, did her job and lost half her haul to those slower than her....welcome to life kiddo.

(of course, this is a sarcastic post. We definitely understand the concept of sharing)
