Driving in Cars With Drama Queens

We now join a conversation “between” Alli and Momma in the DWM car, already in progress…
“…and it wasn’t even a big deal, it was just one little mistake– are you listening, Momma?– but they wouldn’t let me help and we were getting graded on cooperation and stuff, so I told the teacher I wanted to help but they wouldn’t let me– and that’s not cooperating, is it, Momma?– I mean, it’s not my fault they lost points because we were supposed to cooperate, and it was just, like, one point or something, but then she was all like, ‘What’s that all about?! You ruined our grade!’ and she got all worked over and stuff and she told the other girls not to play with me at recess– which is so rude, huh, Momma?– and then guess what? She started to cry.”
“Wow,” I replied as I flicked my turn signal blinker and glanced over my shoulder at my blind spot. “Lots of drama in the third grade, huh?”
“I know! I mean, she got so worked over, Momma! For one teensy little mistake! And it was pretty much their own fault, anyway, if you ask me, so, you know…”
I merged into the right lane. “Well, hopefully by next week your project partner will have forgotten all about this.”
“Yeah.” Alli sighed heavily. “Man… what a drama queen.”
Working someone over….that’s like the Sopranos type of drama.
Heh. I didn’t have the heart to correct her…
love you header. want to eat it.
I LOVE third graders. I have some third graders that are drama kings..they are constantly deciding if they are friends today or tomorrow/and it goes back and forth!
Yikes! That sounds like she just had the toughest day EVER!! But at least she was cooperating…..hee hee hee.
Oh the drama of the 3rd grade. How I do not miss those days. But at least your little drama queen is adorable….I don’t know if I can say the same for her drama friends!
