- Our oldest daughter, Jen,
we have three children,
she was about to go to preschool
and Bill and I completely agreed
where we wanted her to go for
preschool through fifth grade.
This one school was
not close to our house.
We were really wrestling with this
and he finally said Melinda, I get it.
I will drive two days a week.
And, so he started doing it
and he loved the conversations
with her in the car,
et cetera, et cetera.
About two or three weeks
into the school year,
a couple of moms kind of sidled up to me
and they said do you
see what's going on here
in the classroom?
And I said well, it's funny,
I see more dads driving.
And they said well we went
home and said to our husbands,
if Bill Gates can drive
his kid, then so can you.
