Where Do You Belong?

Erma Bombeck told of a little boy named Donald who talked about education and the fears of going to school: "My name is Donald, and I don’t know

anything. I have new underwear, a loose tooth, and didn’t sleep last night

because I’m worried. What if a bell rings and a man yells, "Where do you

belong?" and I don’t know? What if the trays in the cafeteria are too tall

for me to reach? What if my loose tooth comes out when we have our heads

down and are supposed to be quiet? Am I supposed to bleed quietly? What if I

splash water on my name tag and my name disappears and no one knows who I

am?"
