Rose Pink has a much bigger vocabulary than most of her peers, which has been a source of embarrassment for her. She also is still learning high school slang, which is another source of embarrassment for her. (Imagine being unable to speak the same language as the people with whom you want to hang out...) She has begun to embrace her difference though. She came home from school today and said, "Guess what, Mom. I found another way to use big words. Every time someone uses slang that I don't know I can say, I don't speak colloquialism!'" I congratulated her and she added, "Yep, that's me, rocking the polysyllabs!" She is so funny.
