Blonde

Lest you think the child is bright, let me assure you that she has her blonde moments.

ONE
An egg is a kind of vegetable, right, Daddy?

TWO
Mommy, I had a dream while I was napping!!

What did you dream?

That my shoe was on my bed!

THREE
Scene: The school playground. Miss M. is on the slide, holding a bucket in her right hand. Buckets are not allowed on the slide - they are considered to be too dangerous.

Her teacher says: Hey, what's in your hand?

Miss M. transfers the bucket from her right hand to her left, and holds up her right hand. Nothing.

  10. In Miss M's defense:

    1)Eggs are tricky.
    2) Those super-realistic dreams are freaky because sometimes you wake up and you can't remember if your missing shoe really is on your bed or if you dreamt it.
    3) yeah. pretty smart.

  16. So if I tell you she sounds like a lawyer-to-be, would that upset you? Some of them are lovable, at least sometimes. Even if not often in their first year of law school while they hone their new-found skills of arguing on any side of any argument.
