Pink Cadillac
by CarolineA. T. Nee told me earlier that he found some old things from elementary school, intelligence tests and the like. This inspired me to dig through my own early childhood.
Before my disastrous head-on collision with Catholic school, before the freedom of speech of public school gave me chronic logorrhea, I spent a couple of years with Miss Chris in daycare. Our favorite song was “Pink Cadillac,” which we were known to sing frequently. On my final report card from preschool she used a rubric of skills children my age were encouraged to have: counting, identifying shapes, reading, and so forth.
My favorite category is “Identifies the Colors: red, blue, green, yellow, brown, purple, white, black, orange.” These are all circled, and next to it Miss Chris added and circled “Pink.”
