Ah, Christmas. A time when our thoughts turn to things more important than ourselves; charities, our friends and family, and, of course, finding the IT present for our kids. At our house, Audrey writes a letter to Santa (its a form letter and all she has to do is put the things she wants on the prefab list, but that's not important). This year, one of her most precious desires is some sort of nail salon toy that she simply MUST have. Here's the kicker: she already has a nail salon! It was gift from one of her aunts for her last birthday. She's played with it twice in the last six months.
So, after "proof-reading" her letter, I point out that she has a nail salon, so lets not ask for another. She replies thusly: "But Diddy, I need a new nail salon". I ask why, since she doesn't play with the one she has. She replied, "Because, Diddy, the new nail salon will be different, that's why"! Who can argue with that kind of logic?
Author's note:
This post originally contained a note regarding Audrey's original nail salon, which I was to learn later was hurtful and offensive. I wish to publicly apologize to the parties in question and vow that the same mistake will not be made again on this blog.
