Reagan had earned some moola from the Chassell Lion's Halloween Party for winning first prize in the costume contest. It's been burning the proverbial hole in her pocket ever since. She bought a book about a pony (big surprise), and then, after MUCH deliberation, decided to spend the remainder on a pink umbrella with Disney princesses on it. She has slept with the thing and had it in her hot little hand since Sunday. She wanted to take it to school yesterday, but mean mommy intervened. It might not survive until the first rainstorm at this rate. She is currently lying next to me in bed, with the umbrella open and protecting her head from the indoor weather. She is about to take a shower, and... you guessed it... Reagan wants to take it in.
"It's meant for rain, Mom. It can protect me from the water!"
The whole point of a shower is to get wet, child. I don't want it to protect you from getting clean.
Simple joys.
