Classic Kindra...

When Kindra brought this home last week, she already knew exactly what she was going to put in the Mystery Bag. Yep. You guessed it.
I thought that this picture was perfect! It showed just how proud she really was of her "mystery"
Kindra... "Mom. Guess what? There is going to be a book fair at the school and my teacher told us that we could go and get any book that we wanted. I've already found which one I want."

Me... "OK. Let's go look at your piggy bank and decide how much money you want to spend."

Kindra... "Oh no Mom. We can GET any book. We don't have to BUY one."

So I had to explain to her how a Book Fair really works. It just goes to show how carefully we must choose the words that we use when speaking to children! I laughed hard...to myself!


"Mom. Come look at the gorgeous hair cuts that we gave my ponies."


I'll spare you the rest of the details about the learning conversation that had but after it was all said and done, I realized that I should be so thankful that it was only the ponies hair that I had needed to worry about!?!
