All Growns Up

Tonight over dinner, Gaby tried to convince us that she didn't want to be a "little kid" anymore. She swears she's ready to be "big people". We did our best to convince her that being grown up isn't all it's cracked up to be. We told her that she would no longer be allowed to play, she could no longer go to school, and that she would in fact have to get a job. She wanted to know why she couldn't go to school anymore and we told her that she wouldn't have the time if she had to work. She still insisted that she no longer wishes to be "little" and so we told her that I would call the school and let them know. She said fine. We then deemed her "big people" She didn't miss a step when immediately she asked "Good, can I have some gum now?"
Score 1 for Gaby!
