If you read my previous post of how SD11 refuses to speak when I'm in the same room with DH, this is a complete opposite scenario. Usually, when we are all in the living room eating or watching tv, SD will stare like a statue. Doesn't move a muscle or even blink an eye. When I talk, she doesn't respond, doesn't react, doesn't listen.

So, DH has been out of town for 2 days and SD is on a manic high--run-on sentences, mindless chatter about everything and nothing, talk talk talk. Even to the point where I was stressed and dealing with a 4 yr old BD having a toddler tantrum...I have a crying toddler, a hot stove with food cooking, and the phone is ringing. Yet, SD is standing in front of me non-stop saying, "Oh, don't you love my hair today? Look how my hair turned out! I just put water on it for 3 seconds! No...3 1/2 seconds and look at it!" Blah, blah blah, blah blah. Of course, it's "ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEE!" It's a sudden change of personality and a sudden acceleration of narcissism. She's always been self-centered but she's at a new high. It's just strange and completely out of character so I'm a little shocked right now. And not in a good way!
