Can you tell she’s a fifth grader? How does she manage to have food in her mouth every time I take her picture?
Princess is having a birthday! Monday, but she knows how to spread out the birthday cheer over as many days as possible. She had her class birthday party yesterday (with cupcakes and the works), she’ll have a family birthday party on Monday, and a birthday party next Friday at home with her friends.
So yesterday, after 22 cupcakes vanished with blinding speed, I said, “Do you want to go ahead and come home with me now, or do you want to stay and ride the bus home?”
She had trouble making up her mind. While she was mulling it over, I said to the class–“Do you think she will come home with me now so she can get to her beloved TV faster, or do you think she will stay and ride the bus so she doesn’t have to cut short her social time?”
Even the class had trouble making up their minds. The vote was split.
What did she decide? One comment number will be selected from the correct guessers to win their autographed pick from my contemporary backlist!
:shimmy:

Even as much as mine loved their social time, at that age, when given a choice, they always left with me! 😉
Maybe your little Princess is different, but I’m gonna say she left with you.
And BTW…It’s FRIDAY!! :snoopy: :snoopy: :snoopy:
(love the new smilies!!)

I’m thinking she rode home with you. My son’s a social butterfly too and he would pick riding home with mom to get to the tv and video games quicker.

Well since you took it to a vote to her friends, I am going to say the bus (peer pressure and all that). Of course my luck she’s an independent soul and thinks for herself lol. And Happy Birthday, Princess :elephant:

I’d say the bus! After taking the vote in class – wasn’t she embarressed?:oops: – she’d show her independence. At least that’s what my 3 sons would have done years ago.

Stayed and rode the bus. Well, it’s what I would have done, so it’s worth a shot 🙂

It sounds like she was having a great time celebrating with her friends! So, I think she would have wanted to extend her time with her friends! She sacrificed her TV time and took the bus home. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!
If it were my son, he’d come home with me. If it were my daughter, she’d probably tell me to stay until the end of the day and then she’d ride home with me. 🙂 So I’ll guess she headed home with you.

I bet she took the bus home to prolong the time with her friends.

I think she’s rather socialize that be seen in the company of her mother(no offense intended!) so she took the bus.
