- Lily insisted on walking along the rail-road tie borders on the way to the bus stop each morning,
- Elsie learned fire safety from a real fireman,
- Timmy bought a miniature potted rose bush and picked a yellow blossom to give to his teacher,
- Abby was the high scorer for her soccer team,
- Kate was overheard with her friends dealing with the drama caused by an evil looking man who had killed all their fathers,
- Gina managed to watch several episodes of Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and
- I told Gina that she used to attract men like flies to vinegar. (She didn’t take it like I meant it. I used to work next to a fruit fly genetics lab and they would catch fruit flies using apple cider vinegar. But Gina thinks that flies to honey fits her better. Now that she points it out, I agree.)
