She's So Unusual

Darby is best described as unusual. You may have picked up on that already. Her intensity, her interests, her hair - all of it is not typical. We find that she makes us laugh at the most unexpected times, such as last night when she was describing her classmates. The teacher has rearranged the seating assignments and Darby has new faces in her section. Her neighbor, whom she referred to as "Little Ricky", made her pause for a moment to collect her thoughts: "He must be Latin, with the hair, the skin, the dark piercing eyes..."

Who new that Darby's Latin "lover" would bring such consternation (this is yet again a Darby word she learned when she was 3).
