Williams,when asked what she likes best about school, surprised several of us by replying, “I like the teachers best of all!”. When I asked Judy (who is ’seven, going on eight’) if she was sure she didn’t like the recess periods best of all, she declared emphatically that she DID NOT, that she likes the teachers and the study periods best.And Judy confided to me that she has, “A boy friend!”.
