Sparkle: "I Am Odd."

[judifilksign]

 Yesterday, Sparkle brought home "first grade work" from school.  It was a math paper, on which she needed to circle the ones place on several rows of multiple digit numbers, and write on the line below "even" or "odd."  Sparkle enjoyed this paper.  It makes me a little nuts that when she chooses her answers, she'll deliberately voice the wrong answer, then ask in her Dora the Explorer voice "Is this the right answer?  No!" and then write the other one.

But, when Sparkle wrote her name at the top of her paper, she announced, "I am odd."

I asked her, "Why are you odd, sweetie?"

She said, "I am seven, so I am odd.  On my birthday, I'll get even!"

I am odd. On my birthday, I'll get even!

Cute--until she becomes a mad scientist!

Heh. What a great way of looking at it...

Yay Sparkle! Kids are such great sources of whimsy. The "I'll get even" sounds like something my Little Guy would say. He hasn't had a haircut for a couple of months now, and his hair is looking rather shaggy, as naturally curly hair grown out is wont to do. We were talking about the subject the other day, and he said, "Yeah, my hair is getting kinda long. I need a shortcut." Hee!
