Odd Sibling Behaviour

I picked up a grade 4 girl for her lesson today.  She has a sister - let's call her Alice - in grade 6, and they don't get on brilliantly.

Girl [surprised]: Alice is actually really nice.
Me [skeptical]: Alice - as in, your sister Alice?
Girl: Yeah, she got out of Japanese to come and see how I was.
Me: Did she?  Your sister came to see you?
Girl: Yeah.  She was seeing if I was okay.  F [in grade 3] hit me at morning tea today, and Alice was checking I was all right.
Me: Wow.  Are you okay?
Girl: Well, I still have a scratch on my face [still visible] and he hit my arm which is still sore-
Me: Which arm?
Girl: My right arm...
Me: Hm... This is your sister we're talking about, yes?
Girl: I know.  Weird, right?  Normally siblings... Well, they fight.  A lot.  They're not nice to each other. 

Five Husbands - Care Factor

The week after the sneak peak into my future, 11-yr-old girl who thinks I have five husbands came into her lesson.

Girl: Soooo....?  How's Tim?
Me: Good...
Girl: How's Andrew?
Me: Good... Still straight...
Girl: How's Harry?
Me: Good.... He's still straight, too...
[awkward pause]
Me: Are you going to ask me about the- You've forgotten their names, haven't you?!
Girl: No, I just don't care about Sebastian and Tom any more.

Maybe I'll be down to a more normal number of husbands (you know, just one!) sooner than I thought.
