I wrote you a note....

Yeah, that's what a million scribbles on a giant piece of paper means.  A note, a letter, or a list of things to do to make her "smile and dance."  Today the conversation went like this...

Shannie:  "Mom I wrote you a note!"

Mom:  "Thanks Shannie what does it say?"

Shannie:  "You know I can't read you'll have to read it to me."

*this is the part that causes the problem...  I have absolutely no idea what she was thinking when she wrote this umm...  note, so it continues...*

Mom:  "Dear Mom, thanks for making me breakfast and..."

Shannie: (interrupting)  "That's not what it says silly mommy."

Mom:  "Okay, what does it say then?"

Shannie: (rolling her eyes) "I can't read!"

Mom: (trying again)  "Dear Mom, today I had a lot of fun doing puzzles..."

Shannie:  (exasperated)  "MOM! that's not what it says!!"

Mom:  "Okay...  can you remember what you wrote?"

Shannie: (Almost in tears)  "Just read it!!"

Mom:  "Dear Mom, is that part right?"

Shannie nods.

Mom:  "Today I danced with princes and rode purple ponies through the wildflowers in the most beautiful part of the world.  (shannie nods)  I met fairies, and magical creatures."

Shannie: "only nice magical creatures."

Mom: "ok."

shannie:  "but there's more (pointing 1/2 way down the scribble page) right here."

Mom:  "on my way home I met a nice queen who traded me a sparkley horse for my purple pony, it made me very happy."

shannie: (nodding again) "and then we had dinner.  The end."

Mom: "Oh, I'm glad you remembered that part."

Shannie: "don't worry mom, I'll go work on another one right now."

Mom: "I can't wait."
