She is only 3 years old and you have trained her to go to Harvard.

    I'm just catching up on my coffee shop thread, and saw this. This story made me giggle. These kids will say the darnedest things. My next thought was, you better lay off the Harvard talk. Kids tend to become teenagers, and teenagers tend to know exactly what their parents want/expect, then they do the exact opposite! My two cents for the day.

    Ann - congratulations! That first year is the pits. Next year you can choose more of your own classes, and you will know what to expect. The worst part for me were those classes that were a year long, and I had no clue what my grade would be all year. blah.

    I second the recommendation for "Time Traveler's Wife." Loved it.

    I like your new kitty avatar. smile

    WOW, I never knew I could view the specifics! Now I know how.
    It is still a little creepy for me - all that info for anyone to see - anyone who knows how to search...
