but they are both stripes!

this was our first morning with mommy in canada. i figured it would be no big deal, since i do most of the morning routine with sally anyway. i sort of discounted just how calming mommy’s presence is to our little scrap. she woke up pretty happy, but when it came time to pick clothes, we had a lot more drama than usual. she had definite idea of what she did NOT want to wear, but we had trouble getting to what she DID want to wear. we finally landed on the pretty pink/brown striped dress. the brown shorts to go under it were clean too… so I thought we had a pretty good score!
then it was time to put on the socks.
usually there is no debate or discussion about socks. i grabbed a typical pair of plain white socks and started to put them on her. she freaked out and kicked her feet away. she “suggested” that she would really prefer wearing the hello kitty socks. a brief conversation ensued about the color of the hello kitty socks and the dress she was wearing. i urged her to understand that they were no where near a match. close to the end of my rope, i realized that the mommy factor was coloring this conversation, so I relented. we wore the hello kitty socks.
wanna know what argument finally won? she said, “but daddy they do match. both have stripes!” how could i resist. when she came downstairs she said she wanted to show mommy. when I explained to her that mommy was still in canada and could not see her socks she said, “well can you put them on your blog?”
sure.

The best part of this post, “she said, ‘well can you put them on your blog?’” — I seriously love how technology is changing generation to generation.
