ABSTRACT

Ingrid lives in a dream world of her own; if you are talking to her she looks right through you or switches off halfway through, especially if she’s bored by the subject. She never gets around to starting her homework, let alone finishing it. She always has an excuse or she gets distracted by something else. If you ask her to fetch things you have to repeat yourself several times, and then she comes back with only one of the things. If it were up to her, she’d always be late for school and clubs. It’s not that she doesn’t want to go; she gets distracted and forgets the time. One day she can concentrate, especially if she’s interested; the next day she loses her pencil case, forgets to pass on notes from school and takes hours to do one page of homework.
