She Thinks.

 Me: Does anyone need anything from the store?

4: I need two extra large candy bars.

Me: Elaborate please.

4: Mom! I've been paying G and R
(boys on our street)

to carry my violin and backpack
home from the bus stop.

I have to pay them, gosh.

Me: And so I'm paying them to carry your

stuff home?

4: Not really.  You buy the candy bars and then
I will pay the boys with them.

Told you she was sneaky.

Another boy from the Hood.  Not G, Not R, this is N.

Out of all of my girls, 4 has hands down been the girliest.

Not even a close call.

Do you see how she is accessorized to play outside? 

Yet she is always the one playing outside with/manipulating the neighborhood boys.

Kind of weird for a girl's girl.

But hey, if they are willing to work for candy, who am I to say anything? 

Dear 4:

You make me so happy.

Never change.

Not for anyone.

Love,

Mom
