I love the way kids think! The way they interpret what we say makes me chuckle sometimes. This past weekend, my three-year-old was completely content to spend the day in her underwear. My husband and I both brought this up to her a few times throughout the day but the fact of the matter was, she was simply content in what she had on. This was all fine for while we were at home, but we had a concert to attend that night and the girls would be watched at a family friend's house while we were out.

When it was time to get ready to leave our house, my husband and I both told our three-year-old that she would need to go put something more on. When all reason failed, I finally had to put my foot down. I told her "honey, we're leaving the house and you're going to have to go upstairs and get dressed. You need to put on real clothes. Okay? Go put on a whole outfit. Not underwear." Well, to my relief, she came back down in a cute little outfit that I had picked out for her earlier in the day.

After a fun evening out, my husband and I returned to our friends house to collect our children. It was only then that I learned that my three-year-old child had, in fact, followed my instruction to the letter. She had warn a "whole outfit. Not underwear".

My poor daughter. She must think I'm crazy!
