Distracted

Mrs. L.: "This is my friend, Molly."
Avery: "It's not real."*
Mrs. L.: "Well, can I pretend she's real?"
Avery (holding up a pair of scissors and not listening): "Um, this is a 'V'."

I think you might have had to be there today when this happened. It made me laugh a lot. Avery's easily distracted and doesn't like doing things he doesn't feel like doing (or saying)...and he'll talk about whatever is on his mind. Apparently he thought it was more pressing to point out the shape of the scissors than to answer his teacher. At least he knows what the letter "V" looks like, right?

*It's funny when they tell adults when things aren't real/when they're "just pretend."
