She knows that she’s a very special girl, right?
When I got all existential like that as a kid, my grandfather would assign little projects to help define not so much who or what I was but what I was going to do with all of that. [Actually the projects were more like meta-Catechism, prepping me for a messianic type future; they might have been more helpful as surveys than directives. Either way, a sense of purpose can be handy.]

My kids always busted my brain at that age too….Game makes me think that the really great Existentialists were all really eight years old when they got to thinking about the meaning of existence.

It’s my window of opportunity. She’s quite the teen already, but still little in that way, the still talking way.

Charming. Gamma is a little young for EDD (great!), the teenager’s principal affliction, but at least she’s not too old to talk to you about it.

telling her the wide range of categories into which she fits might be of some comfort to her. it might also lull her to such a sound sleep that she forgets to steal the covers.
