Julia’s home sick today, so she’s been a little bored. She came upstairs after watching cartoon after cartoon and meandered a bit.

“Julia, I have 500 more words to write, OK?”

“That’s a lot mommy.”

“I know. Can you be my cheerleader? So I can finish these words and be done for the day?”

“I think you should stop now and just have some fun.”

Touche, dear Julia!
