Remember that Far Side Cartoon?

You know, the one with the building named "Midvale School for the Gifted" or something like that. It had a sign that said "Pull" and a boy was on the outside, trying to get in, pushing on it as hard as he could. That's my daughter. She's so smart that sometimes she's stupid. And clumsy. And awkward. And she JUST learned to tie her shoes this summer at 7. But she reads at a 5th grade level and plays piano beautifully. She has a heart of gold and always sincerely wants to do what's right. She has a really hard time making friends though and now's the time in her life when that's going to start being reeeeaaaaalllly important. I love her like crazy, even when she's making ME crazy (which has been a LOT in the last few days).
