"Ms Daisy"

Ms Daisy is one of Gabby’s teachers. Another teacher is Ms Brook.

This was what happened one afternoon after Rebecca and Gabby were back home from their schools.

Gabby: “Friends, I’m Ms Daisy.”

“Ms Daisy” had some cards in her hands. She took one and asked her “students”.

Ms Daisy: “What’s this?”
Student: “It’s Sophia!”

“Ms Daisy” put down that card on a table. She took another one and asked again.

Ms Daisy: “What’s this?”
Student: “It’s Ryann!”

……

“Ms Daisy” was teaching her “students” to recognize their names. Gabby was both “Ms Daisy” and “student”. Yes, she was talking to herself.

The other day “Ms Daisy” was "reading" a book to one of her “students”, Daddy. It was “Three Little Kittens.” The three little kittens went out to play and lost their mittens. Mommy Cat spanked their bottoms. “Ms Daisy” wore an upset expression when she was "reading" this part. Her “student” was startled.

“Why did Mommy spank the little kittens?” The “student” asked.

“It was because the little kittens played so carelessly that they lost their mittens. ” With extraordinary calmness “Ms Daisy” answered the “student's” question.

“There was no food for them.” “Ms Daisy” continued.

“Mommy can’t do that!” The “student” protested. “Mommy must give them food!”

This probably was the first time for this “student” to listen to this story. So he had a lot of questions. He read the book himself and then told “Ms Daisy”, “Mommy gave them food. She just cut off their pies.”

The “student” was right. In the book it said there was no pie (which usually was a dessert after a meal) for the little kittens.

“They found their mittens!” Turning to the next page, “Ms Daisy” continued the story. She was excited for this part.

……

The “student” went to eat his dinner, leaving “Ms Daisy” alone on the couch.

“Friends, story time!” “Ms Daisy” was calling. She called for a few times.

Then one “student” went. It was Rebecca. Mommy was busy in the kitchen.
