Today is Katie's 7th birthday. It's absolutely amazing how time flies.
As we are out and about this morning, Elizabeth begins incessantly begging, pleading and insisting that we go to McDonald's for Katie's birthday. I was doing my best to ignore it, but 4 year old Elizabeth doesn't react well to non-responsiveness.
Finally, after about a hundred repetitions of "Daddy, can we go to McDonald's for Katie's birthday???" I responded, "We'll talk about it Elizabeth."
Without missing a beat, she immediately responded, "Great, that's a good idea, Daddy. Let's talk about it. Can we go to McDonald's for Katie's birthday? You said we could talk about it."
"Elizabeth, we'll talk about it LATER."
"Oh, okay. Can we take Katie to McDonald's for her birthday??? You said we'd talk about it later, and it's later than it was when you said that, so can we all go to McDonald's? I'm really hungry, and Katie likes McDonald's, and you said we could talk about it later and this is later."
Needless to say, we did NOT end up at McDonald's. We went out to a little family owned Italian restaurant, where we had a Sicilian pizza the size of a football field, and the entire restaurant sang happy birthday to Katie. Both girls had the time of their lives. I'm sure Mommy will post pictures.
