Did anyone else notice that she absolute never stopped talking all the way through?
Well, I take that back, there were a few coy little silent smiles by about 12, and more later on. I have two daughters age 11 getting on to 12. One is so quiet you never know where she is unless you go looking for her, and she's always either reading or writing a book. Can't believe she says she's "writing a book" and it looks like her imagination and her story telling really go to that extent. Sometimes, when I take her on the long drive to the ranch, she will occupy the time by reading her book out loud to me.
The other one is always where ever I am with a cheesy smile, and talking like this girl does.
