Conversation with my five year old who is being dropped off at school this morning


FYOWIBDOASTM:[upon being told she will have to give back the glittery shoes which she has "borrowed" from one of her little friends] Can I get pink shiny shoes?
Me: Um. Yes. Sure. We'll go to the store on Sabado (Saturday)
FYOWIBDOASTM:Can I get a princess clock (watch) too?
Me:No. Just one thing. You only get one special thing from the store.
FYOWIBDOASTM: {quiet for a moment}There are two shoes.
Me: {quiet} Well.... yes. That is correct. You do get two shoes.
Me: But they're the same thing so it counts as one.
FYOWIBDOASTM: Then can I get two clocks instead?

why...? Why did I get the smart kids....?????
