[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

Does your child ever use words you've asked her not to say? Does she ever make comments you wish she wouldn't make? It's not so easy to stifle speech in a first grader. Sometimes having a talk about what not to say only fuels the fire.  [/quote]

Yes, of course.  To everyone who has pointed this out, I get it. I seriously regret ever posting this at all because it clearly made me sound like a self absorbed twit who expects the world to revolve around herself and her child.  Can we all just chalk it up to a gut reaction that happened in the middle of the night in a sleepless haze resulting from being the mom of both my 7 yo DD and a newborn?  I clearly need to get over myself, and I don't expect other children to behave in accordance with what I want (heck, my DD certainly doesn't always behave as I'd like).  I felt blue, I was disappointed that we seem to be moving out of that young time of magical belief and into the next phase, I've been overly emotional and clinging her time of innocence in the wake of the shooting of 20 first graders last week.  Next time, I will make a smarter choice and pull out my journal instead.  Apologies to all.[/quote]
