A mind of her own - Part II

[littlepoppet]

Just a few days ago, Emma was playing with my dad-in-law's stethoscope. He proudly said, "Emma, when you grow up I think you want to be a doctor!" Both he and mum-in-law then went on to ask Emma if she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up.

Clarence was very unhappy when he heard this from upstairs. He's always felt that parents should never

That's really impressive for her to say that. Both of you must be super proud :)
I've been reading your journal and added you :) Wini

We thought it was really unusual for someone her age to say that. We are really proud of her, yet it's kinda scary at the same time...imagine her as a teen!

ok i already have a tear in my eye reading that..

[littlepoppet]

I know. When Clarence called to tell me about it I had tears in my eyes too!

What a smart kid. :D I think I wasn't even half as smart to answer that way when I was that age...

[littlepoppet]

Kids these days are waaaay too smart!

[tiffanyx]

she sure has her own mind bout that, no doubt! ;)

[littlepoppet]

Exactly. Which is kind of worrying, actually!

[tiffanyx]

but at least you know shes a leader and not a follower. :)

[littlepoppet]

Hmm. The funny thing is that when she's playing with her friends, she's more of a follower. But then again, it could be that the other kids are mostly older than her.

[smallbully]

she's growing up to be a strong and determined girl!! ;)

[littlepoppet]

Wonder if that's a good thing or not...
