Brainwashing, phase 1
1. Duchess is taking a lego physics class on Sundays. She and her friend Spruce are the only girls in the 10-kid class. She complained on the first day that the boys only want to talk about "...stuff that's boring to me! All they want to talk about is the Millenium Falcon!"
2. Duchess is doing an "All About Me" presentation in class next week,* and has a big poster template to fill out. Under "When I grow up, I would like to be..." she wrote "engineer or architect"**
* Her teacher uses these one-time, 30-minute presentations in place of show and tell, and has scheduled them to correspond as closely as possible with each kid's birthday. Duchess, FYI, will turn eight next Friday. Does that make you feel old?
**I believe this enthusiasm is directly related to my telling her that she should give any career that interests her a shot, but she should bear in mind that some careers (acting) are less likely to be lucrative than other careers (engineering). Duchess would prefer to be rich in the future.
