My daughter has had some sort of wicked crud all week and has been home with me for three days.  Yesterday she walks into the living room, where I am working on the laptop and very matter-of-factly says, “I think I’m going to name my tongue.  It’s like having a whole other person in there.”

Then she starts doing all these weird little tricks.  Rolling, making waves, turning it over sideways, curling it up into some sort of flower.  Honestly, it’s amazing.  Apparently they’ve been talking about inherited traits at school–something to do with the tongue–and so she’s just started seeing what all she can do.  Have I mentioned she’s an A student?  (One that can’t spell, but still.)  Should I be concerned that she’s going to join the circus and perform tongue tricks?

Have a great weekend, everyone!
