WHO IS THIS PERSON?

Saturday, September 23, 2006

The other day, there was an odd piece of signage in our house. At first, I was impressed at the perfect spelling. Then I had a major flashback to my own room as a kid... I needlepointed a sign that said DON'T BOTHER ME I'M HAVIN' A CRISIS and hung it on my door. And then I thought... wait a minute! Wasn't I much older when I did that?

The same kid that a minute ago (or so it seems) was clinging to my leg in preschool has posted a KEEP OUT sign on her door. At least, she looks like the same kid. The other night we were visiting friends, and Sarah and two other 9-year-olds were trying to summon the dead to levitate them. I would have predicted that kind of thing would have scared the daylights out of her. But she slept soundly that night and not a word about it. I guess I had better embrace the new Private Sarah.
