And slightly sad, half-mad nevergirl is


… just a 25-year-old who still wishes it would rain chocolates one day. No matter how many stilettos she learns to walk in and never mind that she breathes work and smells of stale potential, she’d always be half in love with peter pan and that secret, secret place not-so-little girls go to when they do not want to grow up or compromise their dreams.

    

Thank You

Black, Not Rid

July 1, 2008

When I found out several pages of the little girl’s workbooks have already been answered even when she was supposed to do these at home, the hub and I came up with two theories:

1. the teacher had them do the activity in school, and turned it into homework because a few were not able to finish;

2. the teacher explained how homework should be done, thus giving Alex a clue how to do hers once she reaches home.

The second theory does not explain how she got the page number right, though. She could not recognize the number 46 even if it slapped her in the face.

Today, the hub finally solved the mystery of the answered pages. Alex has been letting the yaya read out loud the day’s Assignment Notebook content, flip to the book pages concerned, and read activity directions.

“But wait! The yaya doesn’t understand English.”

“No, but Alex does. What Alex cannot do is read, so she has the yaya do it for her.”

Given the yaya’s atrocious pronounciation and my daughter’s limited English, it’s no wonder that in one activity, Alex correctly encircled all “Spot the Not” items, but ended up using the wrong crayon color - red instead of black. Sneaky, sneaky; but I’m impressed. I can’t wait until she’s old enough to play Sid Meier’s Civilization.
