The Evasive Paper Clip............

As you remember, Tayvia had an issue with a paperclip 2 weeks ago which led to her being suspended.  I got a call on Monday from the Principal because she wanted to let me know that they found another paper clip in Tayvia's mouth.  They were able to retrieve it this time without incident, however they wanted me to talk to her about the dangers of putting a paper clip in her mouth (which I have already done at least 50 times).  But I am all about working with the school, so here is how my and Tayvia's phone conversation unfolded.......

Mom: "Hi baby, what's going on"?

Tayvia: "Hi Mama, nothing is going on".

Mom: "Really because the Principal just told me that you were putting a paper clip in your mouth again".

Tayvia: "Well mommy, I wanted to bring a paper clip home for you because I don't think you have enough"

Mom (fighting back hysterical laughter): "Well Tay, I sure appreciate you thinking about Mommy.  We have plenty of paper clips at home so let's leave all of your teacher's supplies at school".

Tayvia: "Ok mama, I will leave them here".

Lord have mercy is this girl smooth!  I love her ability to think quickly on her feet.  I just hope she begins to understand to leave the teacher's things be and not take things from her desk.  Keep being yourself Tayvia Rose-we love you just the way you are🌹💛!!!
