How Embarrassing!

Malorie loves to watch Disney movies and everytime they show the Disney Castle at the begining of a movie she yells "I want to go there! How come we can't go there?!" My usual reply is "because I don't have lots of money to go there today" that answer seems to stop the conversation that would have included lots of whining about not going there. I didn't know I'd created a problem by that answer being repeatedly given... until today.

Malorie went to preschool today and was supposed to have her tuition check with her but I forgot to send it in her bag. So later on we went back to her teacher's home to deliver the check- Malorie ran up to the door herself to deliver it while I waited in the car with the window down. Her teacher answered and said "oh you didn't need to come back and bring the check today- let me talk to your mom". Hmmm, kind of a funny thing to say I thought as she walked over to chat with me. She proceeded to explain that today when the other kids were turning in their money and she asked Malorie about hers that the reply Malorie gave was "oh, well my mom says we don't have any money". OH!! I was shocked that Malorie said that and I didn't quite know how to fix the obvious error I'd made. I tried to explain the words came out of context but she must not have believed me because she still tried to give back the check "in case we needed it for Christmas- she could wait until January to get paid".

Oh, how embarrassing and hilarious too!
