Working on my helix quilt for the birthday girl. She'll be 11 on August 19th, and I thought I had until then. But, when I was tutoring her on Friday, she asked if I'd come to her birthday party.
Me: When is it? On Friday the 19th?
Her: Nooo. I don't think so.
Me: Then when? Saturday the 20th?
Her: No, I think it's going to be early.
Me: Earlier than your actual birthday? (My heart began paddling like a duck's feet when swimming.)
Her: Yeah, I think so. We haven't decided yet.
Me: Oh, okay. Well, let me know as soon as you decide, because I'd love to come! (I hope my face showed a calm, relaxed expression, like that same duck appears on the surface of the water.)
It's an honor to invited to an almost-11 year old's birthday party when you're 50 years her senior and NOT her grandmother. I tutor her in English (she's Chinese) and we've become fast friends in the past year.
I'm using her favorite colors: aqua, turquoise, purple ,and gold.
