The Monster emerges...


So our little girl is a wonderful child. She's an only child so more is expected of her but she also gets a lot more just for her and her alone. She's a very happy child, demanding but giving also. She's very active, loves swimming, dancing, performing, and really enjoys school. Given the choice of staying home and watching tv or going to school, it's school hands down. This past weekend though, it's been trying. She has been just atrocious. Not listening, flying around like a whirling dervish, behaving badly when her friend came over to play. The honey went to take her to the community pool and didn't even get to the end of the block before coming home and sending her up to her room.
Now this has happened before. If she's really really bad like monster horrific and just beyond all rational it's a huge indicator that she's going to have a temperature within 24 hours. It's really weird. Most kids get difficult and cranky and tired and all that but she doesn't do that. She just gets difficult. There's no cranky, no tired, no whiny, just social misfit stuff, future miscreant, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout. The up side is that once she gets a temperature it's gone. Of course I don't know what's going to happen if it turns out that she's not sick....
