Child's-Eye View

Tom and Sandra Morrison's granddaughter Tiffany's antics made me laugh today. Sandra told me that twelve-year-old, blond-haired Tiffany had given a slumber party for five friends last weekend at her home in Rocktown. Tiffany's mother had ordered a giant sized pizza for the girls. She asked Tiffany, "Do you want the pizza cut into 16 or 32 pieces?" Tiffany hesitated. "Uh, let's do 16 pieces. We'd, like, never be able to eat 32 pieces."

But I wonder. Tiffany plays dumb sometimes even though she is a smart girl. She likes to point out that she is blond. A boy at school once asked her if she ever had trouble making decisions. She told him, "Well, yes...and no."
