I Confess Imagination Is Not Lost On Me

Photobucket

I Confess...

This post is LATE! Well, it is Friday, but it is almost 7am and my posts usually go live at 12am.

So I am sorry that those of you who depend on the linky to go live at that time had to wait. I hope you came back to link up!

I Confess...

I DO have a cute story to share. It might make you die a little. Yep, it is that cute!

I Super love that my sister Meg's kids got so excited about a trip to the Dollar Tree while they were here last month.

My niece R had a hard time finding something after her mom said she could choose one item from ANYTHING in the store. ANYTHING she wanted.

I Confess...

I imagine that can be overwhelming for a 7 yr old. I mean, the Dollar Tree is a BIG store and even though everything in the store is only a dollar, the possibilities are endless!

She spent a lot of time checking out everything and weighing her options. And there was a moment there where we weren't sure she was going to be able to make a choice.

THEN she saw IT...a purple pretend iPhone.

Some of her older cousins have cell phones and she has been playing with them all week and taking self pics.

I Confess...

When we went to lunch after the trip to the Dollar Tree I just about died when she said, "Auntie, let's take a pic of us with my new cell phone!"

So of course I pose my face off and we took several self pics. Meg was able to capture the moment without me knowing and I am so glad she did. How cute is this?

Then she said, "Now let's take one with your phone and you can text it to me"

I Confess...

I. Die. It cracked me up, like seriously made me laugh.

But I totally took this pic and "texted" to her.

We texted a lot over the next few days.

And played DrawSomething.

And took a lot more self pics.

I Confess...

I love a kid with an imagination.

I love her!

So what are you confessing today?

I confess, that I think I messed up with my link. It is going to my Oreo brownie post, instead of my confessions post. What to do? Do I add another link? So sorry for messing this up!!

Kids imaginations remind us we as adult should use ours way more often.

Sooooo cute! I wish I had a niece,or a daughter. At this point either one.

Meg said...

She also shot a lot of "video" of us with that phone! I'd look over in the middle of a convo with someone and she'd be holding her phone out and giggling. "Hey! are you recording this?" and she'd say, yep! What I wouldn't give to see some of that imaginary footage.
