Monday during lunch, A was bemoaning the fact that her friends would turn six before she would. She desperately wants to be the same age as they are. I remember feeling this way about my cousin. I just never could stay caught up with her.
A said something about, "When I'm 7,..." and I quickly cut her off saying, "Oh, please don't ever be so big as 7! Promise you won't grow up to be 7." Here's how the rest of the conversation went...
A: But Mo-om, if I grow up, I won't whine as much anymore.
M: Oh, well in that case, maybe you can grow up just a little.
A: Aa-nd, I'll help more.
M: Ok, you can grow up just a little.
A: Aa-nd, I'll love you more.
M: Ok, you can grow up to be 7, just not too fast.
