The Six Year Old Who Mistook Her Class for a Hat

The school librarian, Mary Ann, was teaching a reading group in the library which included Ellen. She was trying to elicit descriptions of character traits of a book they were reading about a ditzy woman.

Mary Ann: Can anyone name any character traits for this woman?
Ellen: I think she has short term memory loss.
Mary Ann: So, are you visiting us from the high school, Ellen?

My scary little 6 year old, at play.
