On Staying Calm

Abi tells me when she gets home from school, "It was CRAZY today. It was dark (the power went out) and girls were screaming."

Okay. Great. Glad to hear it.

Then I hear the teacher's version of what happened.

Apparently, when the lights went out, and the other girls started screaming, Abi just sat in her seat and said, "Okay. I'm not freaking out now. I'm not freaking out." Mind you, she is saying this outloud, repeatedly. So, Miss Johnson asked Abi if she was okay, and Abi responded, "Yes. I'm just trying not to freak myself out." And she sat there and kept saying that to herself - outloud - while it was dark and there was chaos all around her.

Whose child is this?
