show & tell the truth

It was my turn to co-op at preschool again today, during -- you guessed it -- "U Week." Lauren knew exactly what she was taking for show & tell.

When the time arrived, Lauren (once again) trotted to her cubby. She produced her unicorn, then stood next to Ms. Lynn, who said, "Ohhh, Lauren. How perfect for 'U Week'! What a beautiful unicorn. Does she have a name?" I held my breath.

"Jewely." I waited.

"Jewely! Wonderful." And then Lauren (once again) paraded Jewely in front of her little friends, who took turns stroking her soft mane and golden horn.

That was it.

Later, as we walked to school to pick up Ella, I said, "Lauren, remember the last time you took your unicorn to show & tell? You told everyone that her name was Louise. Then today you told them it was Jewely. I think it's kind of funny that no one said anything about it."

She shrugged, "I guess they just rec'anized that I have two unicorns."
