Quote of the week

Saturday was cleaning day. The kitchen floor was in desparate need of a good scrubbing (as were many other things). I was down on my hands and knees scrubbing away when Ava comes into the kitchen and excitedly asks,

"Can I be Cinderella, too?!?"


Of course I did not refuse the offer and spent the rest of the time I was scrubbing plotting how to keep this going. Then she started demanding that we sing "Sweet Nightengale" while we scrub. (For those of you who are like "huh?" this is the song Cinderella sings in the movie when she is scrubbing the floor, watch it sometime, it is a classic after all.) So we scrubbed and sang, and the thought struck me that she has no clue what Cinderella is all about. If I am going to keep up the cleaning excitement, I might have to hide that movie!

This is fantastic! I remember playing "scrub the floor like cinderella" when I was young, but this weekend when I scrubbed the bathroom floor I didn't quite feel the same...

Maybe we all just need a little more imagination!

Sara,

you should write into woman's world... the kids are funny section... it would get published for sure. That was a suggestion from Matty (my roommate's) girl friend.

Later - Kerb

The older I get the more I learn that its all about perspective - I think Ava is way ahead of the rest of us! (By the way, I don't remember Kelsey ever scrubbing the floor when she was young!)

Love you!
