elise has a friend in her class named jordan, and in recent weeks we have heard lots of drama about her. the first time elise told us a story about her, her face so sad and her demeanor completely melancholy, as she recounted how her mother and brother had moved to florida when she was two and left her all alone. now she didn't have anyone and was a foster child. and she didn't even have a bed to sleep in. i wasn't sure what to make of it. i was pretty sure it wasn't just some pretend game elise was playing, because i didn't think she knew the word "foster child".
the next time we heard about jordan, she lived with poor people and slept in hay because she didn't have a bed. she used to live in the desert and slept in a tent and now she slept in a barn with animals and hay. when i suggested that jordan might be joking with her about some of this stuff, elise insisted that it was 100% true and was devastated for jordan and the life she was living. she wanted to know if we could have jordan live with us, since she didn't have a family.
the next jordan installment came when elise asked me what a robber was. i explained it to her and she said, "well, that is what happened to jordan. robbers came and stole all her money and all her things and that is why she lives with poor people." the last straw came when elise told us how she had met jordan's mom in the office one time when she had to walk up there with jordan. cory & i said, "elise, i thought jordan didn't have a mom." she thought for a minute and said, "well, it was actually her grandma and then she died the very next day." it was all i could not to burst out laughing. who knew there was this much drama in kindergarden?

What a little drama queen! That is so precious. Halle's cousin Abby tells some good yarns, but this takes the cake. My only question is, is Jordan real? Is she telling Elise these wild tales of sorrow, or is Elise the next great thing at the local bookstore?
hahahahaha nice move, jordan.
there actually IS a jordan. i've seen her a couple of times when i volunteered or ate lunch with elise. i did wonder about the last part where elise said "she died the very next day"--i think elise may have made that part up, as she tried to make jordan's made up stories fit together. i'm not sure if we'll ever know the answer to that.
Hey, because you are the blogmaster center of this family, I thought I would let you know that Nate and Alayna have created a blog. It is nateandalayna.blogspot.com. That's all!
