11 Year Old Dives Into New Year
Reporting From The Mosh Pit …
Sophia’s 11th year started out with Pancakes and a bloody nose, and got more spirited as the day wore on. She added a sprained, possibly broken wrist to her birthday repertoire.
In some sort of strange “rehearse for future mosh pit” ritual, otherwise known as “capture the flag at last day of school picnic”, Sophia vaulted over two 4th grade boys. The usually friendly, soft grass was taking the day off, and the harsh tundra deliberately snagged her recently graduated from 5th grade arm.
Ever the hacker, one of the first things she said was “I wonder if I will still be able to type”. We whisked her off to the hospital for a series of X-rays, which are (so far) inconclusive.
It turns out that she can still type and mouse around. She got a copy of The Sims for her birthday, so that she can practice playing Sociologist. We figure she’ll be off of Neopets.com until at least August.
And yes, Sophia’s still going to get a ton of exercise. Lots of Manhattan walking awaits her next week. Just hope she doesn’t start jumping kids on the subway.
