Also from her report card:
"Clara is a feisty personality who is an asset in the classroom. Some taming is necessary occasionally! Clara is reading with confidence and her writing pieces are imaginative and "Oh so original!" This semester I would like us to work on being polite to ones peers and to calm the bursts of volatility! The future is so exciting for you Clara!"
Classic. Her teacher knows Clara to a T.
And this:
C: I told Pop-pop all he needed to do was get a dog that looks just like Winnie and then he wouldn't have to miss her anymore. He'd just have Winnie back.
And also:
Tonight we were at dinner at some friends house. The adults were in the dining room, but in the kitchen we could hear Clara saying, "You... (dramatic pause)... are breaking...(dramatic pause)... the laws of Jesus....(dramatic pause)... Christ."
I went in and told her not to be bossy and that she didn't get to talk to him that way, but she insisted she needed to because, "He was judging me." (It turns out he had been a bit of a stinker, and had said something rude to her, and she explained to me he wasn't following the law of love one another. I appreciate her ability to stand up for herself and I appreciate her assertiveness, and I appreciate the serious entertainment value.)

Hilarious! I think you have the next Taylor Swift on your hands. I wanna see these
"bursts of volatility" in the classroom. And that Winnie comment made me laugh out loud. Such a smart little firecracker!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Clara is a pistol!!! I'm glad we have such a good relationship; I miss the little booger a lot!

She is so amazing. Her song-writing talents continue to impress. I agree with Whit, she's totally the next Tay Swift. And I'm a predicting a long-term calling as primary song leader.
Oh my goodness! Who is this little girl? She certainly knows her own mind. You have several challenging years ahead of you.

I especially like the < symbols. :) I am just getting to know Clara and it is oh so much fun. Ha!
LOVE her!
Amazing kid you've got there!
bahaha!! those < signs are amazing! i've only seen clara a handful of times in person, but from it's quite possible that she is one of my favorite little people ever. :)
