I remember when my mother left me in primary/kinderkarten school. It was the first time I had left her side after a long time. Hell, I don't remember reacting the same when she left me in nursery. I had some distinct memories then.
I just remembered very distinctly how I cried my heart out, but she would poke her head at the door with the glass panes and I would stop crying until she disappeared again.
Eventually I would stop crying when the teacher would hold me in her arms in a cuddle. But yep that's probably how I felt when I watched this scene. One of the worst things that could happen to a young child is when the only world they've ever known disappears from their grasp.
Also remembered the going into the girls loos when I had grown up a little and throwing toilet paper all over the place. Didn't know why that flashed back or why I recalled that. But hey, I did a lot of weird things when I was a kid. Like eating newspaper from the ground. Don't know why I would ever do that.
