not sure if i have mentioned that we are within spitting distance of bristol university. not that i condone spitting.
a few uni students came by woodland house nursery and asked if they could do a little study on the preschoolers. a parental agreement form went out and the "experiment" was detailed as such:
each child would be shown a puppet show featuring puppet A and puppet B. puppet A has the intention of giving puppet B a gift but some type of three's company misunderstanding ensues whereas the gift intended for puppet B actually goes to puppet C.
after watching the puppet show, each child would be asked a series of questions to determine their understanding of the situation, the emotions for each character as the gift is handed to the wrong person, etc.
gemma's summation of the whole thing? "well, that's a real dilemma". my girl is succinct if nothing.
apparently, the uni students and woodland house nursery school teachers were laughing so hard there was not a dry eye in the house because of her nonchalant yet straight to the point comment. nor did they get through their roster of questions with gemma.
despite the inconclusive findings, i was told they found her brilliant and very entertaining as she went on to tell them in very detailed description some other story. plus they could not get over her proper and appropriate use of very big words as therefore, nevermind, gargantuan and otherwise.
