Jia's in first grade this year and having a great year. She is also the child who shares EVERYTHING - TWICE! (Must've gotten it from Rowland?) She came home from school a couple of days ago and asked me if I'd like to hear what happened at school that day. Not wanting to disappoint her, I said, "Sure."
The conversation went something like this:
"I had to change desks today because I was looking on my neighbor's paper."
"Honey, why were you looking on your neighbor's paper?"
"Because I didn't know the answer."
Duh! "Did you feel badly when the teacher moved you?"
"No. I got to move back when the test was over."
"Honey, you understand that you can't look on your neighbor's paper anymore, right?"
"But, Mom, what if I don't know the answer?"
Hmmm......
She also shared with me that she had never "gotten" to sit in the "private office" chair. Thinking that this was a great privilege, I asked her what she needed to do to be able to sit in this special location. Jia: "Talk to my neighbors instead of doing my work."
Just not sure she gets it.....
oh my! sounds a bit like my hannah...oh and I won't share with J about the wedding comment you made...that would nto help is already worried and must be protective emotions. but I do thaink that was funny and a good way to look at it.
