Carl had a playdate this afternoon, so Ruby was my only passenger heading home from school. I haven't had much one on one time with either kid lately, but boy, am I going to have to plan some. Guess what I found out in just ten minutes:
1) Ruby wants to go to high school in Thailand. (One of her classroom aides this year is an adult Thai exchange student).
2) One of her male friends asked her if she has a boyfriend. I think she didn't really understand what he meant, but she did seem a little flustered about the whole thing.
3)What Ruby likes best about each of a long list of her friends. ("I like X because he's silly like me, and Y because he's very serious, and Z makes up funny jokes, and A is just so fun to play with, etc.").
4) She knows all about Faceb@@k, G00gle, and eB@ay. I was a bit surprised to hear her talking about the first one, I admit.
5) Ruby likes to listen when grownups are talking because sometimes you learn interesting things. (Well, I guess I already knew that. I told her I do it, too, and she's smart to have figured that out. You are hereby warned to watch your mouth when she's around.)
