Me, minding my own business in the kitchen.
Enter 4 year old. Naked.
Me: Why are you nude?
4 year old: I wanna go outside
Me: ummmm, you need clothes
4-year-old staring down at her naked self: No. My Barbies are outside
Me: (realizing the Barbies are probably naked too so she might just want to join the party): You still need to wear something. Especially on your feet.
4 year old disappears up the stairs.
Me: Cool, she listened without arguing.
I go back to minding my own business
4 year old reappears down the stairs.
There are hand puppets on her feet and Mickey Mouse ears on her head.
Me:
4 year old:
Me (sighing deeply): Go ahead, just don't sit down on anything while you're out there.
There are just some battles I'm not gonna fight.
