Last week we went to a Scholastic book fair at school. After finally convincing Ella that 5 is a little too old for board books, she chose a lovely Hannah Montana activity with marker. To which I said out loud, "That's great honey, because you've never even seen Hannah Montana." Random child. But I guess Sydney likes Hannah Montana, so we need an activity book. It's not a board book, fine.
Natalie picked a Klutz book making kit complete with foam shapes and googly eyes and glue stick. Which she worked on some today. Thus sending Ella into a whining frenzy.
"But I want to make a book! Natalie, can I have some of those shapes?"
"No."
"But Natalie, you need to share."
"No."
Cue crying.
This went on for a while. Ella even stormed off to her room, to throw a good fit. Sobbing. Wailing. Gnashing of teeth. Then she emerged with a plan.
"Mom? I don't want to eat dinner here tonight. I want to go somewhere else for dinner. And I think I should pick where we eat, because I don't have a book to make. I want to go to McDonald's. Because I want chicken and fries. Like the same fries from McDonald's. Do you have the same fries as McDonald's?"
"Ummm...no..."
"Then I want to go to McDonald's."
So, I'm off to research law schools and figure out how much that's going to cost us.

LOVE it! well, st. thomas is roughly $25,000 a year. good luck with that! but that's exactly why i became a lawyer...people started saying when i was that age that i should be a lawyer for those same reasons!
Just wait until she starts bargaining for cars...I give it 2 more years max! TexasWesleyan is also roughly $25,000/ year and unless she stars next year I'd also plan for inflation.
Is she available for universal health care negotiations?
