The Dormouse had to take a photo of her and a friend to school three or four months back for a unit they were doing on friendship. I grabbed the most recent applicable photo I could find and tossed it at her, then forgot about it entirely. School is ending this week, so the teacher is sending a lot of stuff home with the kids that's been displayed in their classroom. This came home in her backpack today.


Marielle is my friend.  She has hearing aids. Mari is in the middle.  We are lying down. She can't hear without hearing aids, but she is not one little bit different than us.

Sometimes I think if six-year-olds ruled the world, a lot of things would be better.
