Brigitte: Terri's Project

Brigitte's rudeness towards Terri is getting more blatant every day. She constantly makes nasty comments to Terri's face, calling her a Witch, saying she cackles like a witch, telling her she is her least favourite in the House, pointing out some of Terri's physical features that come with age.

But in all, Brigitte is actually spending a lot more time with Terri. I think the nasty comments are reverse self-psychology, because Brigitte really likes Terri and enjoys having an older person around.

Terri has taken Brigitte on as her special project. As she said yesterday, Brigitte is the childish brat that says "I hate you Mummy", and Terri just has to ignore it and turn it around.

BB has even provided a task for the two to complete together. Terri is knitting Brigitte a pair of shorts (yes, knitted shorts!) and teaching Brigitte how to knit along the way. Despite Brigitte's mockery of the art, she is really getting into it and has knitted a few rows herself, finding it easy to do, and is getting involved with the design of the garment.

Hopefully this bonding will make Brigitte realise how lucky she is to have an older person in the House to teach her what the world is really like outside her mummy and daddy's nest. Not that Terri is a perfect role model, but she will sure show Brigitte the other side of the coin!
