A little bit of motherly empathy on a winter's morn:
When should I tell her about that middle-aged narcolepsy/needing-a-nap-every-day/exhausted business she has to look forward to?

I fell asleep during JBMs piano lesson yesterday....I was mortified when he woke me up and the next lesson was already there!
Tell her to drink some Red Bull. When I do long sets when I dj (as in 6 hours) I have to drink a tin of Red Bull. I wouldn't recommend it for regular use but just to see her through a dead boring class!
Poor thing... You can probably wait a while on the whole middle age napping thing, haha!
I am so very glad that my mother didn't tell me that I would not only loose all memory, but also the ability to concentrate on what was being said in my presence, or even to function through an entire task....now, what was I doing?.....smiles
coffee... strong coffee...
I remember those days, not so well, but I do remember them! Always embarrassing.
Don't spoil her illusions that being a "grown up" is a good thing. She will learn the truth soon enough!
Red Bull gives you wings!
Evidently I fell asleep through all my classes! DUH!! :)
Poor Bird, maybe she needs to get more sleep at night and/or have a BIG hot coffee before class ..
first thought ... are you sleeping at night? or write the paper as you go... like in don't mess with notes, just write a complete sentence for each point. ;)
In ten years or so.
Bless her. She's trying!
Some teachers just have a way of doing that to you.
Bueller? Ferris Bueller?
Man, the narcolepsy used to get me in class too....and there's nothing worse than realizing all of your notes are in Sleep Scrawl! lol
I think this happens to everyone. It's probably why the teacher wants them to write a small paper on what they learned in class. To force them to stay awake. Hmmm. Clever.
Well, on the one hand if you tell her all the horrors now, she might not be able to enjoy her youth. On the other hand, if you tell her now, maybe she can become a lobbyist and work on getting us a mandatory 1-hour naptimes built into the work day.
Either/or.
I'm sure you don't have to tell her Mama. You've already lead by example, right? :)
