Fear of the singing rats

On the way into school this morning, I asked the boy what he was going to do today.
Do you think you'll sing today? Yeah. And make shapes.

Do you think you'll have Spanish class? I think we will.

Will it be fun? I have fun. Sometimes I get scared.*

Scared? What are you scared of? Singing.

You're scared of singing? Yeah. And the rats, and also I'm scared of the fires.



That is one hardcore preschool.



*I'm pretty sure, at this point, that "get scared" is a universal euphemism for "not have fun."
