Her Boss Would Probably Approve It As An On-Site Visit

Fiona's learning about letter V this week, which meant tonight we had a lengthy discussion about what begins with the letter V. Vegetables, violet, violins...

"What's another instrument that starts with V?" I asked. "It's like a violin."

"Viola!" Fiona shouted. "Aunt Kathy plays the viola." She knows that well; Aunt Kathy's even let her pluck the strings on occasion, which is closer than any of the rest of us would ever be permitted to get to her pride and joy.

"That's right. A lot of children know about the violin, but they don't know about the viola. But you know about violas."

Fiona nodded, and then hit upon a solution: "I can tell my class."

"Sure," I responded.

And then she hit upon an even better solution: "They have to meet Aunt Kathy!"

Makes sense to me. You've got two days left in the preschool week, Kathy. By the time they hit W, your moment will have passed.
