How do you know?

So how do you know when kids are playing you or not? I ask because I think we were played last night. Abby had her church choir concert last night and has been looking forward to it (or so we thought) for weeks. She was so excited last week when she got to practice on the big stage. So last night we go eat at the church like we do every Wednesday night. During dinner Abby seemed not like her self. We kept asking her if she felt ok or if she was nervous. I think that’s what did it; I think we planted the idea in her head. As I start to take her to her class she tells me that her throat hurts and she thinks she needs to spit up (throw up) So I rush her to the bathroom and nothing. I ask her if she wants to go to her class or go home and she says that she wants to go to her class for the concert. I take her and she starts crying. Again, her throat hurts and she thinks she needs to spit up. She finally tells me that she wants to go home. To this point I am thinking that she is going to throw up any minute. As we walk down the hall, she asks if she can go watch the concert. Hmm! Once we get home she laid on the couch for oh about 5 minutes. Then the rest of the night was spent riding her bike and playing with bubbles. I’m not sure if she was really sick, if we pressured her or if she was nervous. I’m not sure we will ever know but she has promised to give us our own concert tonight

She probably was nervous and probably did think she was going to spit up-maybe she had indigestion from the upset stomach-once the nervous problem was gone she didn't feel bad anymore.
