Obsessed with Mulan, 6yo: “Mommy can girls be in the army NOW?”
Me: “Yep.”
6yo: “Oh good, cause I wanna be a guard.”
Me: “Oh. What would you like to guard?”
6 yo: “The Emperor of China, are you even paying attention?”
Me: “um. I think you need to be born in China to do that job. Also there isn’t an emperor anymore.”
6 yo: *groan of disappointment* What can I even guard then?

Here I am smashing dreams. #parenting
