I am in my last year of my twenties, divorced mama (successfully co-parenting with her daddy) to the brilliant three-year-old (someone remind me to update this description in 2009, would you?) Sophia, and a skater for my local rollerderby league

I have been a member of SheKnows since 2004 when I was pregnant with Sophia and have been amazed by the friendships and connections I have formed here. Cheesy? Yes. Also very, very true.

I parent, I work, I skate (turn left).

So I'll do this thing.

Wow, the POWER...

I wanted to write about the very goofy conversation that Sophia and I had tonight at dinner, but I realized that it would make no sense to anyone, so I'd have to translate it.

So here goes...

Sophia: When I'm...uh...FIVE.
Me: Yes?
Sophia: Talk to me about a castle.
Me: What?
Sophia (yelling): TALK TO ME ABOUT A CASTLE!
Me: Um, okay, sure. Yes, castles...uh...who lives in a castle?
Sophia (triumphantly): Anybody!
Me: Anybody?
Sophia: Yes, and I go and wear big dress and dance with Darren and Daddy gonna play a BIG guitar.
Me: Really?
Sophia (reassuringly): It not heavy.

Translation:
Sophia: When I'm five years old.
Me: Yes?
Sophia: Daddy is going to take me to Disneyworld. Because, you know, he's fun like that.
Me: What?
Sophia (yelling): I SAID, DISNEYWORLD!
Me: Um, okay, sure. Yes, castles...uh...who lives in a castle?
Sophia (triumphantly): I have no idea!
Me: Anybody?
Sophia: Yes, and I'm going to go and wear a Cinderella dress that Grandma will buy me and I will dance with Uncle Darren in front of Cinderella's castle, and it's going to be just like a Disney commercial. Oh, and Daddy gonna play a BIG guitar.
Me: Really?
Sophia (reassuringly): It not heavy.

Okay, so I have no idea what that guitar thing was about, either.

So um, is Sophia Lauren's long lost twin? Because we have eerily similar conversations like that here too.
