Getting Her Point Across

I was informed a few things by my (way too grown for herself) daughter, Miss Devaney Antonia Sparrow.

“First of all” she began, “when I have a daughter, I will be naming her Devaney Antonia…and I will be giving her my last name.”

OK, I thought, men do that all the time…but wait, stop the presses!…EVERY time this girl has to watch one of her baby brothers, she decides that she is NEVER going to have a kid…

“And when my daughter gets older” she continued, “she won’t have any chores AND she’ll get an allowance!”

Hmmmmm, I’m not sure…uhhhhhh, I think my child is trying to tell me something :).
