It’s situations like this one that happened this morning, that make me confident that Ruby will do just fine in the real world.

ME:  (In my nicest, lets-all-get-along, convincing voice) Emma, why don’t you give your soother to Ben, since you’re a big girl now, and he’s still a baby?

EMMA:  Hmph.

RUBY:  (In her nicest, lets-all-get-along, convincing voice) Mom, why don’t you give me some money, since you’re a mom and I’m just a little girl?

Hmph.

So much pea-tentail!

Sorry,

Lora
