Popular

This morning at gymnastics, Reagan was particularly into her plan of ignoring everything else that's going on unless there's something she wants to do. At the beginning of the year, she refused to make the jump into the big pit of foam blocks, but now that's her favorite thing, so she doesn't really do anything else. Anyway, they do circle time initially. Everyone else does what the teacher says, while Reagan sits on her shape. She came out to tell me she had to go to the bathroom today, so while I took her, I asked her why she wasn't doing what the teacher said. She said, "I'm just nervous. I mean, I'm just shy. And nervous."

I told her that was a lie, and then she said, "I'm just trying to be popular. And rich."

So I guess she's learned that popular, rich girls ignore what their teachers tell them to do.
