That Old Soul

The four-year-old Wee One and I were driving to day school this morning.

From her perch in the back seat she was again checking out the new car. I could hear her opening things, alternately locking and unlocking the doors, rolling the window up and down, and clicking lights on and off. It's amazing what little hands and arms can reach when motivated.

When her inspection was complete she asked: "Sissy is going to get this car when she learns to drive?"

Me: "Yes, but that will be in three and a half years."

Wee One: "You are going to buy another one for you, right?"

Me: "Yes, honey."

Wee One: "I'll take a red one."

Remind her that cops like to pull over the red ones and this little girl sounds like she ought to be trying to fly below that radar. That said, I love the way her mind works.

Forget about saving money for her college. Start saving for her speeding tickets.

You just wait - I saved my old car for my oldest daughter to have.She is old enough to learn to drive now (15 yrs) and says she wouldn't be seen DEAD in it! I know a few parents with that problem too :-)
