The other week when Conor was out of town, Savannah I were tooling around and we ended up at Sephora, which is heaven on Earth for the banana (and I like it too). It was not very busy and the girls working there were looking for something to keep them busy I suppose, so they latched onto Savannah. She got a little makeover and was sent home with her own blue eyeshadow sample and a pack of single use eye shadow applicators.
I’m not really advocating daily eyeshadow wear for my 5 year old, but it DOES crack me up when she comes to the dinner table all made up. Conor asked her the other day “Why are you wearing eyeshadow?” Her response “Because I wanted to look good”.
Next…
There is a Ferrari dealership across from the Central Market we go to. I’m not really sure who in Austin is buying a Ferrari, because it doesn’t really vibe with the feeling of this city, but, to each his own. Good looking cars.
Conor, being a boy, appreciates the look of a Ferrari and has mentioned this to Savannah. He’s called her into the room when Top Gear is testing one and explained the fine Italian racing heritage of the car. For a while, any red car she saw, she would yell “Hey! A Ferrari!”, even if it was a Chevy.
So as we were leaving the grocery store, she saw the cars parked out front of the dealer ship and said “Hey! A Ferrari!” (correctly this time). THEN she said “You know, Daddy wants one of those. They are very expensive, so I was thinking, that since I only need a little money for toys, that I could give my allowance to him for a while so he could save up and get one. Maybe you could do some extra work too Mama and then he could get one”. CUTE!
