Watch: Andover kid with a ‘case of the Mondays’

ANDOVER, Kan. (KWCH) - It’s a sentiment most of us share when the weekend comes to an end. But one Andover pre-kindergartner is putting those back-to-school, back-to-work, blah feelings into action.

Andover Public Schools shared a video of 4-year-old Landry as he was about to catch the bus Monday morning. The video was submitted by his mom. In the video, you can see the boy, Landry, walk to the bus, stop, slouch then fall back on his backpack. While he looked to be okay, the bus assistant comes to the rescue just to make sure.

“Please tell the bus assistant for the Prairie Creek preschool run thank you for being so patient with my 4-year-old who had a severe case of the Mondays today. I think we all feel like him on Mondays,” mom said.

When he’s really tired, he gets a bit grumpy and then gets way overdramatic,” Landry’s parents, Jason and Missi King explained. “I saw somebody comment that growing up is learning how to do that in your head instead of in physical form. And that’s exactly right. I think we all feel like this on Monday, and I think that’s why it’s so relatable, to see the bus and be like, ‘I can’t do it today.’”

Landry said that’s exactly what happened.

“I just had to put on my mask, so I did like this and go so tired I laid down and dropped.”

Landry’s parents said their intent for sending the video from Monday was to thank the bus driver for her patience in dealing with a four-year-old.
