Day Six

Her Aunt G is Concerned:

You have been very quiet. What's going on?

Smidge: 

I haven't had time for email and I can't even stay on the iPod for half an hour without (father's full name) going "Smidge hurry up I want a turn to check something!"

Aunt G is supportive:

Tell your Dad to get his own electronics

Smidge:

I did he said "no go play somewhere else". I'm sooo Bord I have nothing to do and I'm about to leave for a really SUCKY place (school) docent that totally suck??

Her father fights back:

Smidge,

You are an e-mail maniac.  I don't check my email very often, so try talking to me in person.

Dad

Smidge:

But I like the iPod and you know you do too so no complaining!

In response to her mother, discussing holiday gifts:

Mom, that is a really bad idea. You know nothing about my teacher so we should according to ( me) the person who knows the most about her

In response to her mother, injured:

You should really pay more attention to things. I mean really you forgot you had a broken foot! I mean who does that!?

Her mother's response:

I don't know! Maybe someone with a kid who keeps forgetting her broken shoulder?

Smidge:

I'm going to at least punch you for that and I'm NOT kidding
