Mute?

On Tuesday it was Mackinna's 5th day of school.  Her teacher actually asked me, "Does Mackinna talk at home?"  As if I would have neglected to mention that she was 3 and half and doesn't talk...

I said yes, and asked if that question meant she really didn't talk at all in class.  Mrs. Coleman said she hadn't heard a word.  Mackinna must wear herself out by talking to all those invisible people... nothing left to talk at school.  I told Mrs. Coleman she typically takes a while to warm up to people, but maybe by Christmas she'd be seeing the real Mackinna.
