A special edition of “Overheard,” as it pertains the previous post:
—
Olivia’s preschool teacher, Karina: “Your daughter is doing really well. She’s so sweet and well behaved, and she is very obedient.”
Me: “I’m Rebecca, Olivia’s mom.”
Karina: “I know….”
Me: “Oh! Right. Great, then.”

Me: “Ava, don’t you remember the conversation we had on the way to school yesterday? About no crying? No whining?”
Ava: “Mom, why don’t we just start with less crying and less whining, and we can see how that goes.”
