Could someone check …

Manhattan?

Is it still there? Is there a trail of debauchery leading back to Canada?

There didn’t seem to be anything reported on the news of NYC suddenly collapsing from exhaustion, or mental anguish. All indications here pretty much point to a quiet, lovely visit with the city that never sleeps.

I’m not buying it.

Quiet and lovely?

I’ve been trying to get a good look at the sixteen year old for signs of abduction, asking trick questions and analysing her speech patterns and eye movement for truisms. So far the cloning will have to be deemed successful because I can’t tell the difference.

This one seems to have decided she wants to go on to post secondary education.
This one wants to pull up her marks and be a better student.
(I guess I didn’t mention she’ll be repeating math this summer-yah, that apple doesn’t fall far….yes, she still has her hearing).
This one seems to want to get serious about learning.

I’m praying it’s not a phase.

One day when she’s a mom and keeps a blog, I’m going to get to learn all about the real stuff that happened on her trip. Until then, or if I hear otherwise I’ll just have to accept that the trip was quiet and lovely.
