The Look

This particular post is dedicated to our wonderful friends the Wallings. Recently, I read Diantha's post about Madison cutting Garrett's hair-- an experience we have not yet had. I told Sydney about the incident. She got a horrified look on her face and said, "Oh, no!" Thinking I had a good teaching opportunity I said, "Sydney, what are scissors for?" Sydney just looked at me like I was stupid and rolled her eyes at me. Then she said, "Mom,(imagine drawing out the word into two syllables)I know!" "Ok, but just tell me," I replied. Then I got THE LOOK. You know the one, it says, "I am humoring you because I think you are crazy and I am tired of this subject." So, in an equally humiliating voice Syd replies,"For paper, Mom." Yeah, she's five. I can't wait for 16. If THE LOOK is already this impressive, what will it be like in 11 years? Scary!!
