Claire is constantly crafting what we've come to refer to as "tiny things" - houses, furniture, food items . . . really, any item that is tiny. A couple of weeks ago, her teacher showed me a display of tiny things on and around her desk, and explained that Claire had been making tiny things during class instead of paying attention to the lessons. I said that I would to talk to her about it.
Me: "Claire, Mrs. Burke tells me that you are busy making tiny things when you're supposed to be paying attention in class. It's interfering with your schoolwork."
Claire: "
Mom. Being required to pay attention during class is actually interfering with my ability to make tiny things."
