the 159th wonderful thing about madeline

"Mama, they don't know how to make apple juice at school!" announced M one day last week at dinnertime.

"Oh?"

She nodded. "They forget to mix it with water!"

To think that I thought that my bluff was about to be called!

what's yours is mine

My daughter's playdate ended over two hours ago, and I am still shaking my head. When Madeline's friend E comes over to play, I have to check her backpack before she goes home with her mom and inevitably end up pulling out a few of my daughter's belongings. Today it was a wall decal and a huge mound of pink playdough. At least she asked if she could take home Madeline's purple necklace and stuffed purple unicorn. It all seems kind of bizarre to me, but I imagine that E's "collecting" is just a three year-old thing. Madeline was not impressed, however, and started hoarding her toys ...

It must be interesting going through airport security with E and her backpack of treasures LOL!
