WC Mom’s statement is true about her being the oldest child in the family and about me referring to her youngest sister in my previous statement.

Just to be clear, WCMom’s Mom is talking about WC Mom’s youngest sister. WC Mom is the oldest in the family, and was a perfect child who never caused her parents or teachers any trouble whatsoever.

I can remember the parent-teacher conferences with my youngest and the dread before each session. “We’re having a little problem with your daughter this year.” “She doesn’t seem to be cooperating in the classroom.” “We think you should look into professional help because she’s seriously emotionally disturbed.” All this because my little angel thought it was funny to test the teacher’s limits and act contrary to her normal bubbly self until her parents came home from the conference and told her to knock it off and behave or else. Then she was as good as gold…until the next year and she had a fresh teacher who wasn’t wise to her ways. It took us asking for the same teacher two years in a row to break her of this habit. As it turned out, it was the same teacher who originally thought she was seriously disturbed, and later loved having her in his classroom. She survived her childhood and is now grown. She’s still stubborn, full of prunes and vinegar (as my mom would say) and drives us crazy, but I don’t think I’d have her any other way.
