Determination

5:45am:

Me: Ya know, you don't need to go to school if you don't want to.

Rhiannon:  (cough, cough + look of horror on her face) NO! Yesterday Coach Barnes told us we'd be running the mile today and there is NO way I'm going to be one of those girlie-girls who doesn't show up.

Me: (seriously impressed and a little scared by daughter's determination) Oh-kayyyy.
