Not So Tiny Dancer

"Hey Mom, I wanna tell you something," Tiny Dancer said as I re-threaded the shower curtain on the displaced rod.

"Hey babe, I wanna listen!"

"Are you sure you wanna know?

"Yep, sure am."

"OK, well someone bit off Tigger's tail."

"Ouch."

"Yeah, I totally know."

"Hey kiddos, the room looks good to me. I'm gonna go put on a movie."

"What movie are you putting on?" Tiny Dancer followed close behind me.

"Hmmm...How about Toy Story? That's my favorite."

"Yeah, but are you gonna put on the new Toy Story or the old Toy Story?" she quizzed.

"The old Toy Story."

"But Mama, that's not the old Toy Story," she said as I fed the video into the player.

"Yes it is."

"Oh, Mama, you'll see."

"You'll see."

"No, Mom, you'll totally see."

"Sweetie, you think it's the new Toy Story because you had Toy Story 2 before you had Toy Story. But this is the first one where Andy gets Buzz for his birthday."

"Yooou'll seeee," she said in a way too grown-up sing-song voice.

Just then, the opening scene played and she dropped her head, "Oh, Mama, you're right again!"

"Bummer," I answered maturely.
