I ran Iris's contract and deposit down there today, and they were hugging me so warmly and welcoming me to the community.

Perhaps if you become more like Oprah while sending Lola to walk five miles to get water for the family then her fantasy will be complete.hughmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995638646423120399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-75166716468499858422011-03-22T21:37:11.665-07:002011-03-22T21:37:11.665-07:00Oh oh oh...(wiggling in chair and waving hand in a...Oh oh oh...(wiggling in chair and waving hand in air) I SO much want to tell you my guess about where she will be going, but I know you don't want to name names on the blog and I don't find a "contact you" place anywhere obvious. (Probably right in front of me, I know, but...not found) Anyway, my favorite-ever principal of the wonderful school my kids went to down here in Cupertino left us to become principal up there a number of years back. He's not there now, but what a fabulous place that is for kids (if it's the one I'm pretty darn sure it must be given what you've told us about the way your kid's brain works). That's a PERFECT place for her. All that creativity will remain intact and be put to ever-so-good use.

At age 11 we haven't exposed Iris to the darker side of her idol's philanthropy, although she does vaguely know some bad stuff went down at The Great Oprah's School. So she doesn't think twice about identifying with those girls and thinking of the school as a positive thing for them. I wish those students nothing but the best.the Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-75947354203293320382011-03-22T16:53:41.621-07:002011-03-22T16:53:41.621-07:00Oprah's school?
