Small Talk

Lily Bea came home 3 days in a row bragging to us that all the kids in her kindergarten class got in trouble for talking...all but her. Mmmmm, normally this would not alarm parents, in fact it would result in praises and probably a gold star stuck somewhere. Not in our house. If you know Lily Bea then you know why her proclamation sounds...iffy at best. You know why Barry and I gave each other sideways glances like we were being told some weird riddle. She loves to talk, and when I say love I mean is addicted to the spoken word. She has spoken some form of blabber since she was 5 months old and truly has not been quite for the past 6 years. The child talks in her sleep and if you ask her to be quiet it's a sure bet that she will not be able to do so to save her life. She's lively and inquisitive and downright hilarious and very resourceful because if she can't find anyone to talk to, well she just strikes up a lengthy conversation with herself...who better?!? Much to our joy (relief) it turned out to be true...Lily Bea, our little squawk box behaves at school! The teacher said Lily Bea actually shushes everyone when they get loud! WHAT?? Really? Are you sure??? Yep, she is the best behaved in class!! That's right folks we have ourselves a first class suck up, teacher's pet if you will. We are so proud!!! Hopefully she'll be the Hall Monitor next year! Now I have to go scrounge up a gold star sticker. :)
