i sat next to tianna yesterday on the bus. she lives around the corner with her parents and two brothers, is four and was on her way to school. as we passed by harris teeter she informed me that her mom works in the bakery and brings home their dinner every night. some times it's chocolate cupcakes and other times it's vanilla cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles. she doesn't like other food - just cupcakes. i asked her if she liked school and she does - especially when they have birthday parties and kids bring cupcakes. she likes the chocolate ones the best. i asked her if she was learning anything and, in an earnest tone, she said - "i'm learing my abcs, how to count, and not to touch poisonous things that will make you itch." then she got off the bus.
