X Marks the Spot

The girls brought home their second quarter report cards last Thursday.  As expected, their marks were good, except for the brunette twin's "work habits and social skills."  In that area, the brunette twin had an X for "demonstrates self control."
Of course this concerned us so I immediately emailed their teacher.  Today she responded with "She's a hard worker and good student.  She just spends too much time talking.  She needs to stay on task and not talk to her group so much."
I laughed when I read her email.  My husband laughed when I told him.  Given that the brunette twin recently declared talking as her favorite hobby, this is not surprising news.
We will work with her on it because the teacher brought the issue to our attention.  Still, it was good for a laugh this morning.
