full."
Each time she is told not to do something by her Mum, Daisy replies:
"Youdo."
and when asked by her Mum "When?" Daisy is able to give her Mum an example of when she was doing the very thing that she is telling Daisy not to do!

What do my reviews say about me?
~~ A TIME for INTROSPECTION ~~
It all started on the 6th April 2008 with an alert: "Claiiiree has written a new review" (which turned out to be EcoWarrior, Gamer, and Lush Fan a review by Claiiiree on "What do your reviews say about you?"). At first l wondered whether this was the latest Ciao! "Current Issue" for April ~ and clicked on the category name to see the database view. I was quickly reassured when I saw three out of five reviews were written on 9th January 2007, one on 4th January 2008, and then this one by Claire. As the second child of eight with a very assertive older sister, I do not like a competitive spirit, and I try to avoid controversy (so I try to avoid the competitions as a general rule).
