Mmmm.

What preschool thing?

Oh, my friend's daughter has one that she loves.

I thought we'd check it out.

Well, not CeeCee I need to go to preschool.

I look at her.

She needs to be around other children.

Otherwise, it will end up being weird.

I never went to preschool.

The tour wouldn't hurt.

You know, if you really want that she be with other children, we...

We're not having another baby.

Well, excuse me for looking for solutions.

It seems silly to pay strangers to look at her

when I would do it for free.

Yes, childcare is free, but The emotional damage is forever.
