Being Dad

Youngest Daughter recently sought Eldest Daughter’s advice.  The conversation went like this:

YD: I want Dad to redecorate my bedroom.
ED: Why?  There’s nothing wrong with it.
YD: Because I’ll be a grown-up soon, and Disney princesses and Hanna Montana are for little girls.
ED: But you’re 11 years old!
YD: Exactly – I’ll be a grown-up soon and my room, like it is now, is for little girls.
ED: Okay, so here’s what you do: wait until he’s just published a book, and ask him before he gets really involved in writing the next one.  Don’t forget to give him a big hug and ask him with pleading, doe-like eyes, ‘cos that never fails.  It’s what I did last year, and it worked for me!
YD: Thanks, Sis!

And yes, Youngest Daughter picked the colours.
