Asami is a handful. She's 5 and still talks like a motormouth, gets into rooms and places I swear are locked or have been child proofed from access. And I do worry about the art she's picking up from Yubel. (Not that I mind Yubel's art myself but it's a bit morbid for a child.)

And I'm still not sure where the red hair comes from as I'm blonde as is my mother, and my brother and father are brunettes, and Judai's sort of a dishwater brown with some strawberry blonde-ish elements?

... I keep getting stories about the Old Annex of the school being haunted by something. And I've been seeing more crows flying about. And I feel like we didn't have an old Annex, and yet, the paperwork keeps saying it's always been there...

Hrm, I should do a sweep of it one night...

A small publisher has approached me about collecting my blog posts I've written about being a teacher and observations about superhuman, hybrid and non-human children, apparently wanting to keep me anonymous by calling me Angela Dearlove as the Nom de Plume.

Sounds like they need to open themselves up to artwork beyond pretty rainbows and cute bunnies, to me.

[danse_etoile]

Certain expectations of what a 5 year old should be drawing, et al.

[das_yubel]

I think Asami would get bored if that's all they made her draw.

She has a much bigger imagination than that.
The rainbow would be on fire and the rabbits would be vampires with bloodied fangs. That's more her style.

[danse_etoile]

Yes. Which is a bit much but encouraging her imagination now will be better for her as an adult.

But it makes certain staffers question if there's been violence in the family.

No nevermind I'm an heiress of the Tenjoin family and my husband is the son of a doctor and the head of an NGO.

Eh, like I said, they probably should be more open to different expressions of art and that kids notice more about the world than they think. They aren't completely oblivious to the more morbid aspects.

But never mind. Isn't she starting at your school in October, anyway?

[danse_etoile]

Tell that to most parents.

Should, barring anything ridiculous happening.
