When your child's music teacher tells you that she's only read and heard about musical prodigies and she's starting to wonder is your child might be one. This came about after DD played a little song for her teacher that she made up but teacher thought SO composed it for her.

I have to admit, I didn't respond well. I should have said that I'm happy to see DD enjoying music and she's lucky to have such a supportive and encouraging teacher. Instead, I told her that DD tends to be a fast learner but that doesn't always lead to true accomplishments. Now I'm up late thinking if I should send her an email to do some damage control.
