I nodded back with equal solemnity." This shows precocious behavior because she shows respect to others showing maturity.]]> 2017-02-03 14:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/euwyecg1xrsk/wish/151446944 Patrick,Niles,& Amani https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/euwyecg1xrsk/wish/151447825 "Ma,what is Chinese torture?" This example shows how Waverly is only asking this because she is trying to imply how her mother is hurting her. This is very clever because she knows by whining her mother would get mad]]> 2017-02-03 14:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/euwyecg1xrsk/wish/151447825 She tried being sarcastic with her mom about the "Chinese torture".

For example, when her mother tells her to "bite back her tongue" she understood exactly what it meant and behaved accordingly. (PG 89). On page 91 of the text Waverly has a sarcastic like personality. When her mother is doing her hair, it hurts her and she asks her mom "What is Chinese torture"? as a way of communicating that.]]> 2017-02-03 14:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/euwyecg1xrsk/wish/151450360
