Kids seriously just crack me up! When they're not seriously driving me crazy ofcourse - that goes without saying. Jakita & her friend made 'potions' involving lavender flowers, sunblock, healing cream, pva glue & water. They decided to stick it in the freezer & then become famous as a result of what they'd made. Jakita was convinced they were going to travel around the world being famous & showing people their wonderful potions - that weren't going to melt either because of the glue. That was Wednesday.
This morning, Saturday, she took it out of the freezer. Needless to say I'd forgotten the significance of the ice potion in relation to future dreams & possibilites. Jakita had not. "I don't really think we're gonna be famous" she said in an honest assessment of the situation. I couldn't help but giggle. "It's a bit too dull". In reflection the giggle was inappropriate. I should've said something really profound to reveal my parenting prowess & ensure she will go on to reach her big & crazy dreams. Damn it! I'm hoping she'll mostly focus on the great time she had playing with her friends. What's fame without friends anyway?
