Riley is refusing to wear her skorts. She's got three and they are all darling. With laundry a bit behind, and no clean clothes, I pressed the issue this morning.
"Why can't you wear one of these?" I said, pulling two skorts out of her drawer and jiggling them in her direction.
"I'm just too cute in those," she said earnestly.
What she meant was "baby-ish." Cutesy. Little kid cute. But the way she said it was too cute, and I didn't correct her.
Tomorrow I'll tell her, fill her in on the nuance.
Perhaps it is wrong of me, but I'm going to let her be "too cute" for one more day.

one day, i'm hoping she'll have the confidence to say it using the original meaning.
"Why can't you wear those?"
"Because I'm frickin' adorable in them, mom. Too much cute for this world to handle. Bam!"
so...any word on the election?
She gives her speech today!
Fingers crossed.
With some tips from Drama Mama, she's got the delivery down.
We'll see.
Thinking of you all today! Break legs!
Go Riley!
Her speech was moved to tomorrow, for anyone following this hard hitting story!
Will keep you posted with all the latest details, here at M apostrophe O N News.
Oh, she really is too cute!
BTW, I clicked on one of your posts and the side bar was on the right, clicked on another one, and it was on the bottom. Remember, though, Mercury IS in retrograde. I think it will self-fix at the end of the month.
