oh, but there was a 10 year old girl at my aunt's
she seems really sweet. she was nicely (not bossily) encouraging her younger brother to do his homework, she was helping the blind boy do some finger weaving, and then, this was the really impressive part, she was going to make a friendship bracelet and she asked me, 'do pink and purple and blue look well together?' i was so impressed. i think i'll adopt her.

yay! 10 can be a good age :) -- I quite enjoyed helping out with the 10-yr-old sunday school class at my church in grad school :) I hope she stays for a while so you can see her again!
Maybe she'll make a bracelet for you :)
i'm thinking, though, that with grammar that good, she must have ok parents so this might just be a 'we have to get things straightened out' thing, not a 'we're a bunch of druggies who beat our kids' thing, so maybe she'll get to go home soon
which would also be good :)
let's hope so :)
ditto to hobbitsister
it's so sad to even speculate on what kind of parents they have and what the situation might be that they had to go into foster care!
