From The Mouths
Ms. 9 and I were attending a meeting. Or rather, I was attending the meeting and she was sitting patiently through it. It was at the school, about the school play. I'm one of the parent coordinators.
Afterwards, we walked quickly out into the cold night.
"Mom," she panted as we trotted through the parking lot, "Was that, like, a typical grown-up meeting?"
"I guess so honey, yeah, it was pretty typical. Why? What made you ask?"
"I dunno."
"What did you think of it?"
"Well -- it looked like you were all spending a lot of time trying not to say how preposterous the other people's ideas were."
I'm not sure whether she'll go far ... or be thrown out of society altogether.

society's overrated, dude. make sure she knows it, and your job as a parent will be done.
Ain't THAT the truth.
Since it is often difficult to pick out inflection when reading written words, I'll just place it where it holds the best result in my mind: ...thrown out of society altogether.
A lot of going far, in my experience, involves much of getting nowhere.
She's got it figured out, anyway!
preposterous, did she say?
Awesome, awesome, awesome child.
Astute, that kid.
like her mother, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.
She sees it for what it's worth. Cute.
Yeah, that sounds pretty typical.
That is hilarious. She knows how to read her Mom, eh? I just love it when words like preposterous come out of children's mouths. Bright kid!
She's wise beyond her years! "From the mouth of babes..."
Those are the two options, all right.
I'm not surprised she's so intuitive considering you're her mom.
I'd have told her that preposterousness runs rampant especially amongst adults.
she DOES play nice with others, you can always take heart in that, yes?
ha!
Boy children lie like rugs when they're caught doing something they're not supposed to be doing but at moments like yours, they sure say what they're thinking. And what a thinker she is! LMAO!
just stopping by to say hello!
Wow she's bright!!!
People who go far are often the ones that society tries to throw out but can't. She'll be a force to be reckoned with.
