today was a double doozie

Ella was an ornery yet funny girl today. So I have two stories to recount. First off, we went to Trader Joe's for groceries which is always a treat for her because #1: free helium balloons and #2: if you spot the hidden elephant somewhere in the store, they let you pick a treat out of the treasure box. So the treat Ella picked was a butterfly temporary tattoo. Now, I am somewhat alarmed or at least cautious because Ella has a fascination with tattoos already. She is very careful to keep them unwashed for as long as possible. So after we applied the tattoo in the kitchen, she decided her new name is going to be "Jada". Now doesn't that sound like a name for an exotic lady with tattoos? WHaaa? Fortunately, she informed me that it was only her pretend name. (pheew! I was just imagining Ella getting herself emancipated from us at age 16 so she could change her name and cover herself in tattoos and piercings!)

Ok...story #2. We were discussing vacation plans today and Daddy asks, "Ella, do you want to go on vacation?" to which she replies excitedly, "YEAAAH!" Daddy teases, "Do you want to go on vacation by yourself?" She says, "No." He continues, "Why not?" And her very obvious answer is, "Because I don't know how to drive." Of course!!
