Setting:  The Little One's bedroom.

When: Yesterday after school

Mom:  Oh you were the little red hen?  [Mom found story of the little red hen in folder.  Little Red Hen was highlighted and all her lines.]

L.O.  Yeah [not very enthusiastic]

Mom:  Cool [very enthusiatic, looking through the story and seeing it's the largest role.]

L.O. Here, I'll read it for you.  [She takes the story and starts reading EVERY part with different voices.]

Mom: [Applauding] Good job! [Still wondering if the little one read her part with the same inflections at school.  She really sounded like a mother hen.]

The lines for the baby chicks.  The first time she read their line in a high pitch baby voice - that's the little red hen's chicks, Mom.

I told Tileman about the one girl play.  Why can't we get her to do this at scouts?  *shrug* They've already began to put the play for the investiture/rededication together.  What was the little one doing?  Sitting off alone amusing herself.
