Oh, no, you're not!!

So, as I'm fixing my infamous four year old's hair she lets out a profound "Kateism."  I'm brushing her hair and putting in her "pinky-tails" and she says to me, "I'm gonna be so SEXY when you get through!"  Immediately, I said, "Oh, no, you're not!" 

What in the world?  Where does she get this stuff?  I told her that she would be so precious after I was done, although I was still in shock.  After I regained my composure, I reallized that I needed to tell her that she was beautiful inside and out, and it doesn't matter if her "pinky-tails" were in straight or lopsided. 

Why would my baby girl worry about being "sexy?"  This culture sickens me.  My baby girl has a long way to go, and I pray she doesn't use that word again.....ever!  Now that I've had my heart attack, I will pray that she doesn't lose sight of what is really important.   God, family, compassion for others, and love. 

Oh, and I hope she wants me to do "pinky-tails" for many more years to come!
