Comando…

For Cami…

 

This girl…

..came down the stairs yesterday morning to announce that she had  no underwear in her drawer:)  What?  Didn’t dad just do two days of laundry this weekend?

Me:  Where are all of them?

Deidre:  I think they are dirty

Me:  How could that be, did you put them away the other day, or just drop them back into the dirty pile?  (This happens more than I care to admit around here, and she is not the only culprit)

Deidre:  I don’t know, but there are no clean ones in my room  ( a small smile)

Me:  Well, I guess you have a few choices… you could borrow a pair from Enoch  ( maybe that will teach her)  So I walked away to his room to fetch her a pair.  I came back with a brand new pair of size 4T white tidy whities..

Deidre:  No way!

Me:  They are brand new, never worn, just out of the package, (because he refuses to wear them or pee on the potty anymore, But I digress)

Deidre:  What’s my other choice?

Me: Well, you could go comando..

Deidre:  Really?  A smile across her face

Me:  Is that what you really want?  (Quick, what is another option?  I mean WHO sends their daughter to school comando?

Deidre:  OK that’s it!!  Another smile

 

Really, what little girl in her right mind wants to go comando?  In levis?  The answer.. Deidre.  I love her, but not really sure some days where she came from.  She is full of life, and energy to spare.  She loves a challenge and to compete with anyone for anything.  She has this crazy code of dressing anyway, no skirts, or dresses, or anything that looks like it could be considered a dress or skirt.  That is not acceptable.  She has tons of friends, most of them boys, and loves her “man” teacher.  This doesn’t surprise me, I was the same way. 

Thanks to Allyson for freezing her toes off to take some pictures of her before she was baptized last month.  Yes, I haven’t blogged for a while, hopefully it won’t turn into my journal that I have ignored for 11 years:)
