Following in my footsteps.


I would bet that most people would be thrilled if their child or niece/nephew emulated them by doing something that they had taught them or something that the adult did. Well, my adorable niece is just that type of girl. Let me tell you, dear reader of Pretty Much Megan, a fun story!
There once was a very cute and very outgoing (aka talkative) little second grader. We shall call her Began. Now Began was everyone's friend and didn't like to exclude anyone in her friendship circle, so everyone in Mrs. Jeweks (she was one of Began's favorite teachers) class was her friend. Therefore, since everyone was her friend, she had to talk to all of her friends. Sometimes it was a hard job, but still managed and did so with such pizzazz and flair (ok, I just added that, but I am pretty sure it was the case!) Her teacher, however, was a little bit frustrated with Began's talking. So, the teacher moved Began to several different tables hoping that maybe she would find someone that she didn't get along with and not talk to as much. Well, if you remember the beginning of this delightful little story, this girl had no enemies...except for Johnny and that was in the first grade and he was just jealous because I (oops I mean Began) was such a super reader! I digress.....
This delightful little second graders teacher had a brilliant idea. She moved Began to a table with ALL boys. "This would stop that girl from talking!" she thought. But, unfortunately her plan failed and Began realized she had a captive audience. When parent teacher conferences rolled around, Began's parents attended. Her teacher said very nice things about her like, "She is such a great student, but I just CAN'T get her to stop talking!"
Well, this delightful second grader grew up and became an aunt. This girl's parents also went to parent teacher conferences. Guess what they said about this adorable niece? That's right....she talks too much in class!
A child after my (oops I mean Began's) own heart!
The End!!
Happy Birthday, BOO!! Hope you had/have a great day! I love you lots.
