My Little Weirdo

I noticed Mia had been picking at a little scab on her face a lot over the last several days and thought it was a little odd. I asked her about it and finally she admitted that she was hoping it would scar. I know what you're thinking, that's crazy! She said she thought it would be cool if she had a scar on her face so that people could just tell by looking at her that she is a "rough houser." Is this really MY daughter? So strange. I would expect crazy talk like that from one of Claire's children. Claire actually hit herself in the mouth with a brick as a teenager to chip her tooth because she thought her teeth were too perfect and that she'd have more character with a chipped tooth. Totally insane, yes, but knowing Claire, it's really not that big of a shock. I don't even think Mia has heard us talking about this though, which is the really weird part. Where would she have gotten such a crazy idea? She's such a weirdo. I left her at her dress rehearsal this morning with her cast on with instructions to take it off just before going on stage and put it right back on and not to run around and get hurt. I then took Lennon to a trial of a gymnastics class at Mia's gymnastics studio which he loved. When I got back to pick Mia up, Chloe's mom told me that they had been playing and Mia fell pretty hard on her back and would probably have a bruise. Nice listening, Mia. I love you.
