I am loving this. Keep them comming.
I remembered as I was reading that when DD was about 6 or so we told her that she was a troll and we found her under a bridge. She had a green jewel in her navel and when she was old enough we would give it to her. Well when she turned 18 I found a little mint box that had a jewel in the top. i wrapped it up and took it to her. At the time she had a team at the Special Olympics. We were in her room with her asst coach and a few other friends and I handed her the box and said, "Before you open this honey I want you to know we could not love you more if you were our own child." At which point her assistant coach almost droped his eyes right out of his head. She just said, "Oh brother. Here we go" When she opened the box and saw the jewel was pink she said, "I thought the jewel was green." So I told her "We didn't know that when the jewel thought you were ready to receive it then it turns to your favorite color." We still call her a troll sometimes. LOL
