Thanks for entertaining us and of course, part-take in my sister's world. Sometimes she's just there, sometimes she's interesting, other times she thinks, why am I here? But hey, I'll get this time as much as I can before she reaches high school. ;-)
I like to expose her to different circles of people outside of her norm, expand her world a little. She's a bit more brave now at joining in conversations than a couple of years ago. Also keep in mind that these people are my friends, not hers. She has no known commonalities with anyone, not to say that I do either, but I have enough experience to talk about other things.
To think that I practically raised her newborn self when I was her age was like wow.
I think one of the greatest advantage of being a kid is to be without this weight of experience - probably why she reads so much, because the world in her books are so much more full of life than life itself at this age.
