Eamon: "Mommy, do you know what a cutie mark is?"
Me: "Um, like on My Little Ponies?"
Eamon: "Yeah! Well, I should have a cutie mark of tap shoes!" <wildly and without rhythm, beats his feet against the floor>
Me: "You want a tattoo of tap shoes on your butt?"
Eamon: "No! A cutie mark!"
Me: "Did Rowan show you a lot of My Little Pony videos on the internet today?"
Eamon: "Yep!" <Goes on to describe about two seasons worth of My Little Pony shows in 10 minutes>
Me: "Um, right. So back to the tap dancing. Do you like doing that? Do you want to take some dance lessons?"
Eamon: <with disgust> "No! Dance lessons are for girls!"
Me: *sigh* "Right..."
Actually, I did explain that both boys and girls can take (and enjoy!) dance lessons but he wasn't having it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI never knew that was called a cutie mark.
