Sleeping Beauty

Another funny "Tess" story is sometimes her stubbornness really comes out. She was out playing at recess and when the bell rang to come in, she decided she didn't want to finish playing. So instead she pretended to be Sleeping Beauty and laid herself down right in front of the doors so that nobody could go in or out. She was laying on her back with her eyes closed pretending to be asleep. And no matter what I tried to do to convince her to move, nothing seemed to work. She was deeply convinced that the only way she could move was to wake her up with a kiss---pucker up! Meanwhile, all the kids had to walk clear down to the other end of the school to go inside.
