I don't want to lose her.
She's already taller than I am! ( I'm 4'11"). She's strong and tall and Itake her grocery shopping to grab the tings of fof the tall shelves for me.
She's been SO good and helpful all summer! Hauling and packing because we were doing it on the cheap...
And she Is smart. We talk about history, and morals and politics all of the time. And she talks about it at school. Has a funny, dead-pan sense of humor, too.
Confuses her teachers.
understand that you don't want to lose her... Typical motherly feelings. (My mom was actually mad at me intially when I enlisted in the Navy. Then she wanted me to get stationed close to home. She was not thrilled when I told her that I have never seen an Aircraft Carrier on Lake Michigan, so I doubted that I could get stationed close to home.)
She sounds like she has a good head on her shoulders. (even if her head is a little higher then yours.)
If she is confusing her teachers now she'll be running circles around them soon..
