Sophie dog

This week PJ is at Chinese camp.  One of her teachers has bought a new, very tiny, very cute and very cuddly little puppy.  She brings it to school.  She carries it with her in a small satchel like a little baby.  The kids get to hang out with it at recess.

PJ is dog crazy.  She has wanted a dog for an entire year and hasn’t changed her tune.  I told her when she was 10 we could buy one.  That’s when I would be ready (hopefully).

So when PJ came home from camp on Tuesday and saw that adorable dog, she WANTED A DOG all over again 10 fold.  So, she decided she was going to ask the teacher if she could buy the dog for $100.00.  She was even going to buy the dog with Chinese money she had gotten from her Papa (it was no where near $100.00).

We discussed the fact that her teacher was not going to sell her the dog, no matter how much money she had.  She didn’t care, she wanted to try anyway.  So I let her, why not…what hutzpa!

When I came back to pick her up at the end of the day she was crying.  I couldn’t figure out why, short attention span had forgotten she was going to ask to buy off the dog.  Then the teacher came over with a cute little smile and giggle and told me that PJ asked her if she could buy the dog from her.  And now, because she didn’t get that cute little cuddly bundle of doggy love, she was sooooo sad.

So she wrote me this note.
