Lillie is going to preschool three days a week right now. Her mother - the wretched witch - commented when she was filling out the application that she didn't really know what to put for the answer for one of the questions. It was something about how Lillie behaves and plays with others when she is at home. Bridgette was wondering if she should respond by saying that Lillie is bossy and pushes her sister around. I, of course, was horrified by such a statement and told the-wretched-child-I'd-raised that she could just say that Lillie is strong willed and strives for leadership.
See, here she is fully accessorized and showing off her studious ways.
The other day I was getting the school report and she informed me that she had a new friend who is "named Haley. (She's a girl.)" I asked Lillie if she was nice to the new friend and she affirmed that she indeed was nice. Then, I asked if she was being nice to the little boy. Immediately she let me know that he always wanted to play with the same toy as her. So, I talked to her just a bit about the importance of sharing and how nice it is to share. To this she responded, "But, Grand B, I don't want to share." Of course, I assured her that while we don't always like to share, it is something that we always should do and it is the nice thing to do. Humbly she agreed with me, "Aw, okay." Then, she remembered that there is another new girl. So, of course, I asked her if she was being nice to the new girl. Lillie's response was so upfront and priceless. "Grand B, I don't like to be nice ALL the time!"
Who does?
