Cinderella, Cinderella

Yesterday evening, my phone rings. My brother was on the other end and our conversation went like this (Names have been removed to protect the innocent):

Brother: "Hey, I'm just calling to tell you that we might be calling you in a few minutes, but you need to act like Cinderella."
Me: "Um, okay, why do I have to act like Cinderella?"
Brother: "We told Daughter if she goes pottie on the big girl pottie that she could call Cinderella."
Me chuckle: "Okay..."
Brother: "Okay, we'll call you in a few minutes."

So I wait a few minutes and my phone rings again.

Me: "Hello."
Brother: "Hi Cinderella, Daughter needs to talk to you."
(Brother gets "daughter" on the phone)
Brother (in the background): ""Daughter", say hi to Cinderella>"
Me: "Hi Daughter, it's Cinderella." Daughter (with a little coaxing from her mom and dad): "Hi Cinderella, I went pottie in the big girl pottie and I get to wear Cinderella panties."
Me: "Daughter, I am so proud of you. You are such a big girl." Sister-In-Law (in the background): "Daughter can you tell her what other princess panties you have?"
Daughter: "I have Snow White and Aerial."
Me: "Did you know that Snow White and Aerial are my friends?"
Daughter (to her mom): "Cinderella has friends?"
Me: "Daughter, do you get to have a jellybean for being a big girl?"
Sister-In-Law (in the background): "See, even Cinderella knows you get to have a jellybean for being a big girl."
Daughter: "Yes, I get to have a pink jellybean."
Sister-In-Law: "Okay, tell Cinderella you have to go so you can get your jellybean."
Me: "Bye Daughter, Cinderella is proud of you>"
Daughter: "Bye Cinderella."
Brother: "Thanks, Cinderella."

Oh the innocence of a child. Can it get any sweeter?

"Daughter" has told all our neighbors, her teachers, her friends, cashiers, and anyone else who will give her their attention, about her conversation with Cinderella. She feels sooooo special! Thanks for participating!!!

Tessa,

How cute! You could be on the start of something.

Can you work on sounding like Tim the Tool Man or the Orange County Chopper guys just in case your Father-In-Law would actually clean the toilet!!

Love,
Pam
