anything for cake.

Recent conversation with my almost-not-four-years-old-anymore son:

George:  "Mom, 'E' (a classmate) invited me to her birthday party at school today!"

Me:  "Oh, wow!  If you get an invitation I will take you.  It will be fun!"

George:  "I'm so excited!"

Me:  "Me too!"

George:  "She told me it is going to be a princess party."

Me:  "A princess party?"

George:  "Uh, yeah.  Princess."

Me:  "Princess?"

George:  "Yes."

Me:  "Honey, don't be sad, but I bet her party is just for girls."

George:  "But she said I could go!"

Me:  "I think she was trying to be nice, but I bet her mommy is sending invitations to just girls."

George:  "Well, what do you do at a princess party?"

Me:  "Oh, the girls will probably wear pretty dresses and wear tiaras.  I think everything will be pink and glittery."

George:  "Ooohhh."

Me:  "Yeeeaaah."

George:  (long sigh)  "But mom, I'll do anything for cake."
