So the girls read a couple of books this week both basically with this kind of story…
Once there was a little girl named Mitzy. She told her grandma that she wanted to be an astronaut and her grandma said, “You’ll never be an astronaut, they won’t let girls in space.” Mitzy was sad so she told her mom and her mom said, “You’ll never be an astronaut because you’re not smart enough.” Mitzy started to cry and told her dad how she wanted to be an astronaut, he said, “Yeah right and I want to be a tight-rope walker.” Mitzy decided that all of those people were awful and you know what, she became an astronaut.
I just made up the Mitzy story but seriously why are there picture books where a kid’s parents tell them they aren’t worth anything? Maybe the mean kid down the street could tell her that she’ll never be an astronaut but come on let the mom believe in her.
In related news Mabel told me she wants to be a Doctor when she grows up. I told her that she’ll never amount to anything (just kidding but she is only 8 months old I’m not sure its time for her to pick a career yet).
