Preschool Problems Meme: You Would Cry Too If It Happened to You (PHOTOS)
Little people, little problems. Big people, big problems.
Lisa Belkin recently talked about first grade problems over on The Huffington Post, which got me thinking about my daughter and her preschool problems.
Any way you look at them, they’re all first world problems. But they’re problems nonetheless in the eye of the beholder. And big ones in the eye of a preschooler.
Take a look at some of the problems plaguing my 3-year-old daughter and see if you or yours can’t relate:

ZOMG I love this
The written soundtrack made my day!
This is brilliant! love the world-weary picture, too.
This is soo clever. I am going to print them out and retread them when things are not going well
@Bre & @Bunnytwenty — Glad you liked it.
@Mom (Sheila) — When things aren’t going well, call me on my cell phone and your preschooler granddaughter will be thrilled to talk your ear off about all of this using iChat. xoxo
These are supercute…so good, I made it through four with the horrid slide show format and want to keep clicking…but, oh so slow…and oh so painful the format (and I have Fios)…
@Suzie — Well, thanks for hanging in there for as long as you did. The nature of the memes kind of lends itself to the slideshow format.
Yes and no…the pic (as cute as it is) is the same for each one!
@Suzie — That’s what the “meme” thing is all about: same picture, different captions. Go to quickmeme.com and you’ll see a whole bunch of other ones. I didn’t invent the concept, but this picture and these captions are all mine — for better or worse.
ah so…
