"I Knew it Was Going to Be Me"

Abby was chosen by her teacher as the Student of the Month for November.  I asked Abby if she was surprised that it was her.  She casually said, "No, I knew it was going to be me."  I was trying not to laugh at her confidence. Then she added, "Because I've been trying really hard not to talk and my teacher always says, 'Everyone look at how Abby is doing it.' "
Abby has been trying really hard at school and I love when she recites all of her classroom rules in a chant just like they do at school.
