Harky Actress At My School

Harky is a dramatic ten-year-old girl. Intense with high drama, at a constant pace. First story she wrote in first grade had seventeen exclamation marks. Teacher complained at parent-teacher conference. Mother laughed “Have you met her?” she asked. I have met her. I meet her a lot. I am the school counselor. She rushes into my room on a regular basis. Flops herself down and turns on her automatic faucet. She could be an actress. She can turn tears on for a sandwich. Sometimes I say “Turn the tears off. I don't have much time." She can do this in about half a second. I know she is going to make it In Hollywood. I will be glad to see her there….. instead of in my office.

(chuckling) It takes all kinds, Caren. But the overly-dramatic can wear on us quickly.

It is CRAZY! She has a little sister as equally needy.
