Alix's Family...

My 4 year old niece is in pre-school 3 days a week, and apparently one day last week her teacher pulled my sister-in-law aside with a story.

Alix's assignment was to draw a picture of her family...and she drew 3 people, which she told the teacher were her, her brother, and her mom. The teacher became confused because she thought she recalled that Alix did indeed have a dad that lived at home. She thought maybe she'd been mistaken so she checked on her file, and sure enough, Alix DOES have a dad at home. All the more confused, the teacher questioned Alix again, "Alix, don't you have a daddy that lives at home?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Alright, alright, fine. I do have a daddy. But he's never home."

It's sad that my brother's job as a coach requires him to be away from the kids so often...but also funny that in response, Alix has excommunicated him from family drawings. That kid definitely has a Court sense of humor.
