Flutterbys

Today while hiding out in the speech room, I got to watch one of the speech teachers working with Ms. I Cut My Own Hair. They were working on her ability to hear a variety of descriptors about a picture then be able to guess what the noun was being described. After a few rounds, Ms. I Cut My Own Hair wanted to let the teacher guess while she determined the descriptors.

Speech Teacher: "Ok, Ms. I Cut My Own Hair. Here is a card. I'm ready for a clue."

Ms. I Cut My Own Hair: "Say butterfly."

Speech Teacher: "Remember, Ms. I Cut My Own Hair, you are supposed to give me a clue to see if I can guess what is on the card."

Ms. I Cut My Own Hair (louder now): "Say butterfly."

Speech Teacher (trying not to laugh): "Maybe you could say something like 'It has wings' or 'It likes flowers.' Don't just tell me what it is."

Ms. I Cut My Own Hair (giving the teacher the stink eye): "SAY BUTTERFLY!"

Speech Teacher (about to wet her pants because of holding in the laughter): "Butterfly."

Ms. I Cut My Own Hair (nodding in approval): "Vedy good. Sometimes you are stubborn."

Do you think maybe she has heard something about being stubborn before?
