My sister...if this w
Aug. 21st, 2003 12:53 amTotally unrelated except in the sense that my sister is quite a character for a four-year-old girl...
As I was fixing her hair one morning recently, she told me that she had told her SS teacher to get some playdough. Well, I talked to her SS teacher tonight...she initiated the converation. "Has your sister gotten some playdough recently? I was just wondering because she had me look all over the classroom for some playdough that she was sure was there...but I knew there wasn't any. So I got some." Well, Rebekah had told me that her teacher (Miss Charla) had gotten playdough in "little circles" (I think she meant cylinders, but didn't know the right word)...and that she had enjoyed playing with it. She just graduated to the fours and fives class, but the classes switched rooms at the same time, so they probably moved the playdough, too, which would explain her confusion.
This afternoon, as I was putting some peanut butter on a rice cake for her, she told me, "Put it on the napkin when it's done." Very specific in her instructions...maybe a little bossy. "Rebekah, how old am I?" "Twenty." "And how old are you?" "Four." "Then do you think you should be telling ME what to do?" Very humorously (and yet confidently), "Yes!"
The sound clip is of her trying out some kind of accent, then saying the same thing normally. She's a little nut!;-)
