RSBM &RBBM from Greenpalm's excellent work:
D - Another neighbor said there were signs that something was not right at home. She was gardening when she heard the girl shouting for help. She was stuck in the tree in her front yard. Alanna told her, “Strangers are not to be in my yard. You are not allowed in my yard.”
D described Alanna as a “spitfire.”
recalls the mother saying, “I bet she’s over at a neighbor’s home, she always does this.”

Hmmmm...
Have you ever been around kids who are hyperactive? I mean REALLY hyperactive? My oldest son is extraordinarily intelligent. (Not just bragging he really is), the trouble all his life has been that HE GETS BORED INSTANTLY.
Let me tell you what, I use to lay in bed at night and say to God, "You MUST have known what you were doing when you gave him to me because anyone else would have shipped him somewhere by now!"
He was into EVERYTHING. Nonstop. Go, go, go, talk, talk, talk.
I thank God every day that I went on to have more children because they are 'normal'.
Even the best of us can have our patience tried with children like this. Just a thought.
(When my son was about 7 or so he would wait until he could see our elderly VERY NOSY neighbor lady in her garden and then he would stand in the kitchen and holler, "ABUSE!! ABUSE!!").
When he was in the second grade the school was teaching them all this D.A.R.E not to do drugs thing? They didn't tell the kids that cigarettes weren't illegal drugs. I use to smoke back then. My son told EVERYONE in the school that his mother did drugs every day.
One day he had nothing for 'Show and Tell' so he told every one..."My mom farts and blames it on the cat." :facepalm: :facepalm:
