So the "fashionista" has lost the match to her favorite brown sandal, and approached me this morning with this conversation:

Me: (washing breakfast dishes)

F: (Pencil and marble notebook in hand)   Excuse me, lady....I have a few questions for you. I'm a detective.

Me: Wow...a detective???

F: Yes....I"m trying to solve a mystery. You see...this shoe disappeared.

Me: I see...

F: So.....have you seen this shoe?

Me: No

F: (writing in her notebook)....Where was the last place you saw this shoe?

Me: On your foot...

F: MOM!!!!!

Me: oh....in your shoe cubby...(more writing)

F: I see.....ok....thanks.

* repeats same questions to her dad*** (obviously frustrated).....

F: I think I need to bring a certain person, who has too much information to my office. (looking at Sweet Pea)

F: I'm going to bring you to my office and put some thinking music on for you. (grabbing the ipod touch) This should help you remember more....

Sweet Pea: I don't know anything......(walking away)

F: (yelling) I'm NEVER going to crack this case.....I'm NEVER going to find my shoe.....

Me: Why don't you just start looking for it? Check your room, under the couches...

F: Um....yeah.....I'm ok with never cracking the case....

Never a dull moment with kids around. Enjoy your Saturday!
