Meet Claire



A couple months ago, Ellie, Claire's older sister, told Claire she looked beautiful as she got ready for school, and then added that all the boys will want to marry her.  My sister, Jennie, saw this as an opportunity to carry on this discussion and she told them that looks isn't all that matters.  So she asked them what else does matter?  Ellie gave the answer's Jennie was looking for, like being nice.  Claire said, "you've got to be a good kisser!"  
So this week, the girls watched the movie Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken (they're into the classics).  For those of you who haven't seen this movie, Sonora is a rider of diving horses.  On one of the dives, she lost her vision and became blind.  Lucy, Claire's youngest sister found this terribly traumatic and supposedly bawled through it.  But that was that.  Until yesterday.  Jennie was driving in the car again with the girls and friends when Claire asked her mom, "How did Sonora get married if she was blind?"  Jennie, being the great mom she is, answered by telling Claire that even though she was blind, she was a great person... yada yada yada... Claire wasn't listening.  And then Claire asked, "but Mom, how can she kiss?!"

Sweetest girl.  Maybe a little too into kissing for a 5 year old.
