Tonight when I picked up Tink and Pan from daycare, Pan was playing checkers with his little buddy. Pan was having fun - and not quite done with the game - and the Dad of the little buddy was waiting for him to finish so I let them continue.
Tink was looking at slides in a viewfinder - they have the ones with the decades… I can’t decided if the Dad of ‘little buddy’ seriously thought I would remember the 70’s - He implied that I might had too much fun in the 70’s - until I told him - I was born in the late 70’s - so remember current events? uh…No….. then I remember - Little buddy - is the surprise… his parents are in their 50’s. His Dad - doesn’t look it AT ALL. Just saying…

Tink: Momma when do I get to be a boyscout?
FG: You can be a girlscout when you are in kindergarten, but you can’t be a boyscout.
Tink: Girlscouts are boring. If I cut my hair can I be a boyscout?
FG: It doesn’t work that way. besides if you were a boyscout, you wouldn’t be able to dress up in all your princess outfits.
Tink: I like to be a princess…

Nice move there chica.
Diverted the topic like a pro. I’m proud of you.
(P.S. I remember the 70s a little… You didn’t miss much)

… I bet even as a boyscout she could still dress up in her princess dresses. LOL.
PS: 2 of my brothers were boyscouts and my Mom was Den Mother - which meant I basically was a boyscout by default as I was helping at all the meetings, teaching them the pledge, learning along with them, and in some of the photos. I suggest you become a Den Mother! Then Tink can be an honorary boyscout too.
LOL.

I like to be a princess too!

I remember the 70s. I was a girl scout back then. Tink is right…it sure seemed like the boy scouts had more fun.

PS: Girl Scouts IS boring!

Let her join the boy scouts. She will really thank you when she’s 16 and the only girl in the pack.

LOL.. well I was born in Nov 1972, but really can’t say “I remember the 70’s” Now the 80’s I remember,
don’t know which is worse to remember LOL.
Tink is too funny.. I want to be a princess too.

A girl with priorities! I love it! I also love that she thought to cut her hair to be a boy scout! Too cute!

As a girl scout we got to make sno cones & cotton candy at fair time, AND sell girl scout cookies.
and eat too many of them.
But I like her thinking!
3:52 pm
I’m down with those girlscout cookies!!! Tell her those boys don’t have those yummy things!
