The little girl I mentor will be moving out of the school district this summer and I am bummed. I have grown quite accustomed to our once a week get togethers where she reads flawlessly, rolling her eyes and ignoring me when I start saying "axolotl" over and over. It is in part to make her smile and in part because it is ridiculously fun to say. And to look at...
AHHHHHH!!!
In honor of my little friend who wrote me the sweetest card asking me to remember her because she would remember me, here are my favorite things that have come flowing out of her crazy mouth.
After I told her that I didn't like running in PE as I wasn't very fast
"Is that because you are fat?"
"You were pregnant? Oh, that is what was wrong with you."
"I don't like going to my grandma's house. She smells."
After I answered her question about why other kids were looking at us as because we are super cool
"Yeah. They are just jealous because I am a better reader than them."
When I told her that her shirt was pretty
(stares for a minute) "I like your shoes" (turns and walks away)
When I missed a week
(said upset) "Where were you? Were you taking care of your baby?"
When I asked what her favorite food her mom made was
"Meat"
When I asked her if she was excited to make new friends at her new school next year
"No. I just want to stay here with you"
I am going to miss that little girl.

You are to be commended for your work.
Maybe stuff rubs off on people.
Our oldest grandaughter was very good at ignoring also..when she wanted to ignore you.
Love to all,
