<\/a>Hilarity ensued. I told her the first names of one or two teachers, she guessed her own teacher’s first name, and then I wouldn’t tell her any more.\u00a0 I told her she’d have to figure them out on her own.\u00a0 She begged and pleaded and I agreed to give her one more after<\/em> she ate all her dinner and drank her milk.\u00a0 May as well get something out of this game, besides pure entertainment!<\/p>\nShe finished her milk and dinner just as Lex was coming into the room with a question.\u00a0 Eve said, “Ok, what is Mr. D’s first name?” I told her it began with an R, then turned my attention momentarily to Lex’s question.\u00a0 Eve thought for a minute then guessed, “Ragaloni?”\u00a0 I nearly fell out of the chair laughing!\u00a0 She was on my lap and we were both hysterical.\u00a0 Ragaloni?!\u00a0 What kind of a guess is that?\u00a0 The girl kills me sometimes!\u00a0 She also couldn’t remember Nikki’s name when it came time for writing and kept calling her “Nickel-y”.<\/p>\n
