Remember the little Red Tank Top incident last week? Well, I thought I'd give you all a little recap on my conversation with Sophia the other day. Here it goes:
Sophia: Mommy, what are you looking at? (me looking at my newly crafted blog)
Mommy: (my heart skips a beat, this is the time for "the talk!") Oh, it's my new blog where I can post pictures and interesting things that happen to our family. I wanted to show you something. (scrolling up to "the" incriminating picture...)
See, I got a picture from one of the mothers the day she brought in the Polar Express Train Cake and read the story. Do you remember that day?
Sophia: Uh huh. Let me see.
Mommy: (a few seconds pass as I let her get a good look at it) (matter-of-factly)Are you wearing that shirt I told you to go up and change out of because it was too cold and that is better for the beach or pool anyway?
Sophia: "Maybe that's someone else in the picture."
Mommy: (not believing that Sophia isn't admitting being caught red handed, but coming up with even more connivery!!!! is that a word?!) Uh, I don't think so. I can see that it's you, Sophia and next time you need to listen to what Mommy says. It was wrong to disobey me like that. It's a cute t-shirt, though, isn't it?
Sophia: (sheepishly) Ok, sorry Mom. Yes, I really like it.
So there you have it! I was never in a million years expecting her response that it might be someone else!!! That was classic and she won't live that one down. I think I may bring it up at her wedding luncheon!
(by the way, this is a picture of a similar tank top I purchased at Gap. It says Inspi(red) on it. Hers says Glamou(RED) on it. Cute.)

more like red for lil' devil.
Yeesh! That little pup! (As my mom would say.)
Love it - classic.
Ooo, she's a real thinker, and came up with a really good one! Watch out! I love that color red, it's my favorite.
Do you think the 'connivery' is genetic? I remember a couple of incidents from MY childhood.
