Disaster

Edee and I have a tradition where we paint our toenails red, white, and blue for the 4th of July.  This year, after Edee's insistence, I let her paint her nails by herself.  She's four and a half.  You can imagine how it went.  I stifled the annoyed feeling, laughed instead and grabbed my phone to take a picture.

Me:  Hold still Edee, I want to get a picture.

Edee:  Awwww Mom!!  No!! It is a disaster!!!

Me:  Ha, what?  A disaster?  Did I say that?

Edee:  No, I did.

Me:  No, I know you did, but did I just say it before you?

Edee:  No.  I just said it.

Me:  Ha ha okay.  Maybe it is a little bit of a disaster.

Edee:  What's a disaster?

Ha ha.  Totally worth the nail polish remover and hassle.
