kind of funny, kind of scary ;)
Jul. 1st, 2012 01:14 amFrom what we could understand of the story we heard today, Evie had an issue with another kid at dance camp. I'll call her Madison, because all little girls betwen the age of 0 and 10 are named Madison. Apparently. It's sort of a cute name but do we actually need SO MANY of them?
Anyway, today, two days after the camp was over, she brought thie incident up. She says that she accidentally hit Madison (I think she means she ran into her when she says "hit") while dancing, and so Madison got mad and called Evie a liar. This greatly vexed Evie, because she hadn't lied about anything; she had just hit her. (Because that is so much better.) So obviously, her response was to stop the argument and define the word "liar".
And so, Madison apologized. The end.
...
WTF, child? You hit someone and then you made HER apologize to YOU? I can't decide whether to be impressed or horrified.

At violin on Wednesday, her teacher told her that her fingers should be hovering near the strings and then asked if she knew what "hover" means. I try to keep quiet during her lessons but I couldn't resist. "You know, Evie. It's what Mommy does." Evie just looked at me like I was a dork (I am) but her teacher, who has three children himself, laughed a lot. I try not to, but it's very difficult when strangers do not understand just what a super special snowflake she is. :)
