Sophia’s teacher told me the funniest story.
Evidently some prospective parents were touring the preschool today, and the teacher wanted to demonstrate how they talk about parents. (Or something. This part I’m not clear on.) So she asked, “Who here misses their mommy?”
Sophia answered loudly and proudly: “I don’t!”
Not quite the answer anyone was expecting. So then the teacher asked the kids, “Who here loves their mommy?”
Sophia thought about this for a few seconds and then shouted, “I do!”
(I’m supposing that all the children said “I do!” as well.)
The teacher explained to the parents that Sophia is a very independent soul.
The teacher said to me that Sophia is definitely one of the most independent and self-confident children she’s ever met, and she’s going to miss her a whole bunch when we leave.
Sigh. She sounds like a wonderful child. Lucky, lucky you (childless but not jealous in California)
