Have I ever told you that Colette is a real sweetheart?
This morning Katie put Girl Scout cookies in the kid's lunches. Leila got Thin Mints, which she had purchased with her own money. Colette got Samoas, which she had purchased with her own money. Savannah, having long since run out of the cookies she bought, got the kind with raisins that doesn't sell well.
While I drove the kids to school, they inventoried the contents of their lunches. Savannah was completely distraught to find raisin cookies in her bag. She started crying and kept wailing about how unfair it was that her sisters got yummy cookies and she got gross ones.
As Savannah raged on, Colette cheerfully asked Savannah if she wanted to trade cookies. Savannah readily agreed. The transaction took place, and Savannah's potentially "catastrophic" lunch experience was averted.
Without even being asked, Colette offered her oldest sister the delicious cookies she had bought in exchange for "gross" cookies in which she had invested no money.
I sure love that big-hearted little girl!
