friend of Jenna&#8217;s,(I&#8217;ll call her &#8220;B&#8221;) in fact, has an opinion on everything, and seems to think she&#8217;s an expert in many things.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 If she were my daughter, I&#8217;d probably blog about nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>B:\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;Look over there at those birds!\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 They are going to get shocked on that power

shocked.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 And petrified.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>J:\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;Uh-huh.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Only I don&#8217;t know what that is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>B:\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;Neither do I, but it will happen to you.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Unless you are wearing gloves.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Those guys that work on those things wear big thick gloves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>J:\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;Even mittens.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 If they wear mittens they won&#8217;t get hurt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>B:\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;Or be unconscious.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 That&#8217;s when you go to sleep and you don&#8217;t wake up for a long time.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Like until midnight!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(At this point I felt it my duty as a mom to give them a little lecture about how power lines will still hurt you even if you were wearing gloves, and how you should never ever touch a power line if you see one on the ground.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 They just went right on with new topics.)<\/p>\n<p>B:\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0

mountain!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>J:\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;Oh, me, too!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>B:\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;And I see it&#8217;s cave.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 There&#8217;s it&#8217;s cave with a little bear cub inside!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(Imaginative, that one.)<\/p>\n<p>J:\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Cute!<\/p>\n<p>B: Cute!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it was cute.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 About as much cuteness as I could stand.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 At this time I say a silent prayer of thanks that the dance studio is really quite close to my house, and make a mental note to not sign up for things with this girl that are more than a 10 minute&#8217;s drive.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Because I don&#8217;t know if I can stand
