She Has Good Taste

Yesterday Malia saw a sweater hanging in her closet and was absolutely determined to wear it. She kept telling me, "I need that!" It took me a few well thought out questions to figure out what she wanted:

"What do you want?"
"That!"
"I need more details. Tell me more."
"I need that!"
"Is is clothes or toys."
"Clothes."
"Is it a shirt or a dress or a sweater?"
"Sweater!" 

Once I knew what she wanted I more than happy to oblige since this particular sweater was a favorite of mine when I was an itty bitty as well. My mom made it for me and I remember wearing it. All I had to do was find a new ribbon for the neckline and she was good to go. And pleased as punch about the whole thing.
