Taken aback...!

Dear Nicky,

So this morning I'm returning a call to the nurse at Stepping Stones regarding getting permission to patch your eye, but before I can talk to her, the principal gets on to tell me how easily you took to your new schedule and class. He also tells me how impressed everyone was with you. In his words, "everybody was a little taken aback" at how smart you are. Aren't they going to be in for a surprise when they realize this is only the tip of the iceberg as far as the wonders of you are concerned. You're the greatest.

Love,
Dad
