There's a celebrity in Abi's choir--a 15-year-old girl whose been famous since middle school for her brilliant-beyond-her-years blog (and now, for her media empire). I recently asked Abs whether she considered this teenage sleb a pal, since they saw each other every day and whatnot. Abs replied that, nope, the girl wasn't very nice at all, at least not to her. "She won't even say hi to me--I sit right behind her. Come on."
I encouraged my sister to look at it from the perspective of the other girl, who must have so many people wanting a piece of her right now. I pointed out that she'd been friendly when Abi was new, which was kind. We joked about what insane outfit Abi could wear to impress her famous classmate into converation. A nice bit of casual parenting there, no?
But I confess that I didn't share my immediate thoughts:
I should totally blog about that famous chick being a bitch!
Um, did you just think that? How old are you?
Whatever--there's nothing more irritating than a prodigy who just keeps up the prodigy-ing, am I right?
Rory! You don't mean "more irritating." You mean "more intimdiating." Because you're just jealous.
Nuh-uh! Also, that one time at that choir concert the song her small vocal group did kinda blew.
Jesus, Rory!
The only thing more amazing than a child who can manage to act like an adult is an adult who can do the same.
Who is this girl? Tavi or somethin'?
Also, hilarious!
