Just a bit of an addition to my previouse post. I once said on this thread that my 9 yr old D was an expert DBer, well I've got another story! Friday night I was driving her home from her training and she used the word "despicable". Here's the conversation: Me: Wow, that's a pretty big word D9: I learned it from Miss X (teacher), she teaches me new words all the time Me: That's great I'm glad you are learning from her D9: Sure am, yesterday she said our behaviour was "despicable" and last week I learned the word "ignorant". She said we were being "rude and ignorant", I learn lots from her! I almost drove the car off the road laughing! This kid takes a situation where most people might feel hurt or angry and thinks of it as a learning experience. She's actually thankful for that learning. Yup, she's my mentor, my 9 year old. If she can do it, so can I.
