For the past few days, she's been chattering about DNA tests. Can I have a DNA test, let's take a DNA test, Andrew wants a DNA test, how about a DNA test. It's been a near constant woven into her patter.
Can't figure out where it came from, but blaming it on school. I think. Also possible she picked it up from the nightly news? Parent-teacher conference today, so will ask then.
She's not asked what it is, so we've decided to just ignore it. I have no idea if that is the right strategy.
Is she trying to convince herself she didn't commit some heinous crime? Or is this the early version of "YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM!" which I thought would be more like the teen years.
What do you get when you have an 8-year old, a 5-year old, an overly timid Westie, and a new kitten all living in a 1914, slowly-being-restored small rowhouse?
Awww Trouble!

I'm wondering if she wants to use it to get rid of Andrew.....
That's a riot! I like your suspicion that she heard it on the nightly news. Either that, or she's reading your science journals after you go to bed.
