Material Girl

So, one of Lucy's friends had a birthday party this past weekend. It was delightful -- corndogs, birthday cake and police officers! It also was gift-free, which is an excellent idea, in MY opinion. (Who needs more stuff?) But my opinion, apparently, is not so widely shared.

"We're not bringing a present to Ella's party," I tell Lucylu.

Eyes wide, she asks, "WHY????"

"Ella's mommy says Ella has enough toys."

"Well, WE don't have enough toys!" she quickly exclaims.

(In other news, I talked to Richard Simmons today! Yes, THAT Richard Simmons!)
