Lollipop

As I was putting S, the 3 year old, to bed tonight, we talked about Santa. We sang "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and I asked her what she wanted Santa to bring her. She told me she wanted a new big girl bed. I explained that I didn't think he'd be doing that since she got a big girl bed for her birthday this summer. Then she told me that she really wanted a crib and that she really wanted to sleep in her crib and not her big girl bed. So I dutifully explained to her that she was a big girl and had outgrown her crib and that is why she's in a big girl bed.

"You're a big girl," I said.

"No I'm not," she replied, "I'm a lollipop."
