A New Teacher

Since school has started recently, this post will relate an incident from the first day of school.
We took the older child to his first day of school, and his teacher’s name is Mrs. Thomas. The younger child stayed home. No, not by himself – someone else was watching him. After the school day was complete, his brother told him some things about it. Since the younger one has not yet attended school, and since he didn’t go that day, all he has is a mental picture drawn by himself using his own experiences.
The next day, as they were preparing to go to the next day of school, the younger one was inquisitive.
younger son: “Is brother going to school?”
mom: “Yes, he’s going to school.”
“Is his teacher Mrs. Thomas?”
“Yes, that’s his teacher.”
“Does she have wheels?”
(perplexed pause before answering) “No, she doesn’t have wheels.”
That’s when brother stepped in and sorted things out (laughing):
“No, she’s not Thomas the train. Her name is Mrs. Thomas.”
