Kade is extremely sensitive and get her feelings hurt easily. She will break out in tears at the drop of a hat. Yesterday one of her friends, who is not passing in school this years, told Kade, very dramatically, that its all Kade's fault that she failed. This little girl is Kade's best friend and she says that because Kade cries so much the other kids tease her and since they know the other little girl is Kade's best friend they make fun of her also for being friends with such a cry baby, therefore she can't hold her head up and consequently she stays home from school and missed so many days that she is failing ! How's that for reasoning !!??!! Actually, she is filthy lazy, won't get up out of bed in time to go to school and her mother is sick a lot so mama doesn't make her go to school. My mother use to do the same thing with me when I was in the 6th grade. I would not get out of bed and the school would call and mother would pound on our common wall to see if I was still in bed, and when I mumbled something, anything, I would hear her tell the principal that I was sick that day. She did that out of indifference. But this friend of Kade's, I don't know why her mama don't make her go to school. The mama seems to love the litle girl, just facilitates her not going to school.
