After school

Every day, the late leavers at the preschool turn into a riot at the end of the day.

They'd be chatting at the cubby and pausing whatever they were doing, grabbing toys/books/teaching materials, hiding from me or just being plain silly.

Even after the teachers booted everyone out of the school, the girls (yes most of the late-goers are girls) simply would take the party outside. This is also where play dates were are planned, goodbye tears are shed and hugs are shared.

Sometimes you'd think they are bidding each other farewell forever, when in fact they will reunite the next morning.
