Heather is Starting to Care About Her Appearance and be "Crafty".

Here is her first foray into hair chalk.  I don't know if I'm ready for this. 

Meanwhile she had homework. We told her to complete an old test that she didn't complete.  She then produced tears ON THE SPOT and announced that when they fill in answers after the fact the teacher punishes them by making them walk laps.  I immediately had my lie detector on and knew this could not possibly be true. I told her to do it.  More tears.  Eric walks in and tells her to do it.  More tears.  Then she tells Eric the tale of woe.  Eric buys it hook, line and sinker and starts screaming about the teacher and seeing the principal and how this is unacceptable.  Meanwhile I email the teacher who immediately responds and tells me um no she can obviously complete the answers.  I show that to Heather and told her - you can't outwit Mommy - she's just as crafty and she tried every one of these tricks on Nana already. She's not even 11 yet folks - I am in so much trouble.....
