Lucille bent down so she was level with her son's eyes. "Oh sweetheart, it's okay to be scared."

"That's my boy! Now, I'll pick you up later and you can show me the paintings you've done."
"Paintings?"
"Yes." Lucille replied, ruffling Virgil's hair.
"Bye Mommy!" Virgil grinned, dashing through the school gates and towards his new teacher.
