And I must share the following conversation that I had with my daughter just a few days ago:
Ava: "Mom, do you remember how it was my St. Patrick's Day party at school yesterday, and you forgot to put my green shirt on me?"
Me: "Yes, honey. I'm sorry about that...I thought it was on Thursday."
Ava: "That's okay, because nobody punched me."
Me: "Sweetie, it's PINCH you--not PUNCH you. They can only pinch you for not wearing green."
Ava: "Oh."
In retrospect, now that I realize that my daughter thought that the kids were going to punch her for not wearing green, I'm so proud of how bravely she walked into preschool with her head held high that day. That's my girl.
