I haz a twelve year old in the house right now.
She will be here until next weekend. I had forgotten how complicated twelve was. Especially the twelve that is pretty sure that any adult who is not a parent is a treat machine, likes hard and fast rules and likes to catch questions incogruities in my speech while also, apparently, is unable to fathom the differences in my sentence syntax from what she usually hears in such a way that I normally have to repeat/rephrase everything I say directly to her about three times.
*ponders*
I love this kid, but we are sorting out our bondaries -- amicably, but sorting nonetheless. It would help if we could try to do something fun. Like go see The Princess Bride tomorrow night and have a picnic. We'd better have fun, damnit, since I'm paying a sitter. :D
