Earrings

This girl (about 9 years old) looked at me carefully one day, while I was tuning her violin.  I always find it disconcerting when kids start staring at my ears.

Girl:  You know, you always wear different earrings.
Me: Uh-huh.
Girl: And they always match your outfit!

For a couple of years, I thought this particular child was a bit slow.  Turns out she just never practiced.
