Yesterday I went to tutor my little friend. She's a hoot for sure. She was definetly in a talkative mood, so we visited more than we read. She told me she still loves band, but is still not looking forward to Jr. High. I asked her why and she informed me that she doesn't want to do the whole locker thing....especially with a lock! I reassured her things would be fine, she said, "Well I won't have you next year either...." Boy that made me sad for sure!
She asked me how old I was....27 I said.... she says, "Well, that's not old... now if you were 50 or 55 that is WAY old." I couldn't help but smile. She also informed me that her and her brothers got out the Twister game again (thanks Mark and Amber for that gift!!!!). She said they had a blast playing it on Sunday afternoon.
We started reading the Box Car Kids again....she asked me why the pictures weren't in color. I was able to show her how to figure out when a book was printed as well as how to pick a good book. As we were reading we came to a part in the book talking about the children going to look for a "DUMP". I knew exactly what she was thinking by the look on her face. I asked her what was wrong, she says, " Well, why in the world are they going to look for poop. That is just nasty!" She got me to laughing right there in the library. I had to explain to her that a DUMP is not a DUMP like what she was thinking, but an actual junk yard.
We visited some more, I brought her pencils and a pencil bag this time. She said she really needed one of those. Each day I spend with her is more special than the last!!!
