It is almost the end
of birthday month extraorinaire and my middle kid will have a birthday in a few
days. Sierra is a fantastic combination of wit, smarts and defender of fair
play. She taught herself Japanese and she shares my quirky sense of humor.
A few bits about
Sierra:
Conversation
in junior high “Mom, are you a witch?” “I guess it depends on who you
ask.” “If you were a witch that would be awesome because then I could be the daughter
of a witch.” “Is that like a son of a bitch?” “Mom, it means I
would be part witch and that would be awesome.” At this time, decline to
confirm or deny.
During
an elementary school play, she took a paperback on stage and read a few pages
between her lines. I totally understand her need for time management!
When Sierra learned to walk, one of the first things she would do is
climb into the lower kitchen cupboard and shut the door. When someone walked by,
she would swing open the door and growl at them. Then she would giggle.
Even
then you could tell she would grow up with a twisted sense of humor. That’s my
girl!
You
know Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck? How
about Looney Tunes? The Abominable
Snow Rabbit scoops up Daffy and says, “I will love him and hug him and squeeze
him and call him George.” Point is, the
newly named “George” does not do well. In an similar designation, my pre-teen kid, when faced with a
permanently lost or broken item would announce, “Call it Joe.” Pretty clever.
In first grade, after school one day, “I’m delectable that means I’m
delightful.”
I starting collecting tiny houses and lined them up on a living room
shelf. One day, Sierra bought a glass wolf to terrorize the town.

My
favorite Sierra story. . . In Junior High she had two boys ask her to the
Halloween dance and again to the Valentines Dance. She worked it out that
all three went as friends.

Not many adults could pull off that level of
diplomacy.
Happy
Birthday! You are an awesome kid.
