When I was a little over four years old, my mother decided I was old enough to go to school. She was a teacher, and had already taught me to read and write. This was a small town in Maine during the depression years. In those times, you could enroll in school as soon as your parents decided you were ready. So she sent me off to school on the first day. All went well until recess time. We were ushered outdoors. I took this to mean school was over, so I legged it for home! Needless to say, that was the one and only time I got away with it.
