Listening in on her mother's conversations hoping to discover the secret plan for her upcoming birthday, Olivia instead hears her mother talking about her poor behavior and becomes concerned she'll be sent to military school.

Ultimately, though, the book is about Olivia doing her best to be the careful child her mother wishes she'd be and her mother relaxing enough to take her to see the ballet. Olivia still manages to get into the middle of things, but not to the degree she has up to now.

Maybe she's just to young. Maybe it's something more, but Olivia doesn't handle complex instructions well. It's really up to her parents to realize this and approach situations accordingly. The stories derive not so much from a willfulness on Olivia's part, but on the lack of practical supervision and instruction from her parents.
