My daughter, Lily, had just started kindergarten when I got a notification from the class group chat: [Hi everyone, I’m Sarah Miller, and my daughter, Tiffany, just transferred here today.] The chat lit up with a string of “Welcomes!” and “Hellos!” Just as I was about to type out my own greeting, a huge block of text appeared. [Important Notice from Tiffany’s Mom: “Girls in the class, please take note: Starting next week, I’ll be posting a picture of what my daughter is wearing each day, please make sure your child doesn’t wear the same thing. “Also, I request that everyone please switch to the same brand of laundry detergent we use, my daughter has a very sensitive nose and can’t tolerate other scents. “Finally, my daughter was a C-section baby and is a bit timid, so I ask you to tell your children not to bully her and make sure she’s always treated with priority.”] Wow. I couldn’t help but think, “This isn’t just a new student; this is a royal princess who’s slumming it with us commoners!”
