Colorful Conversation

Princess: Mommy, when I came out of your tummy, did you know my favorite color was pink?

Me: No sweetie, I didn't know that.

Princess: Well, pink wasn't actually my favorite color when I was a baby.

Me: Oh?

Princess: No. My favorite color was aquamarine when I was a baby. Now that I'm big, pink is my favorite color.

Me: (stifled giggle) When did pink become your favorite color?

Princess: Um...when I was three.

Me: What made you change your mind?

Princess: Well, the aquamarine turned into pink.

Me: So the color changed or you changed your mind?

Princess: No, the aquamarine disappeared and the pink came.

Me: Oh, I see...

I'm certainly glad we're clear on that. After all, we know how important the pink is. Yes, it is all about the pink!

Pink has become the latest plague of our house. Violet wants her room painted pink, with polka dots. I'm just hoping that demands for an all pink wardrobe are NOT next.

Kelly, Princess is all about the pink, but when it comes to clothes she's more about the pretty. Granted A LOT of her clothes are pink.

Freckle, I know! Aquamarine of all colors! I have no idea where that came from.

Fiona, blingalicious...I think that just may be my new favorite word!
