The Kindergarten Teacher Who Doesn’t Exist
Young, I am so sorry about all this, but I can promise you none of our teachers have ever mentioned anything about a cat-faced old lady.
Now that was strange. Could it have been something the other kids said?
I looked at Justin with a serious face and asked,
“Sweetie, think carefully. Did you see this cat-faced Miss Never in a dream? Or was it another kid trying to scare you?”
Justin shot back, his voice steady and earnest. “Mom, I am not dumb. I know the difference between a dream and real life.”
“This afternoon, when Ms. Zinn put on a Doraemon cartoon for us, Miss Never sat right there with us. She even taught us how to make a Bamboo-copter.”
