The Day We Learned About Snail Panties

So the other day, I had one of those conversations with Emily that I never want to forget.

She was sitting at the kitchen counter working on a dot to dot. When she finished it, she discovered it was a snail. Then, a funny thing happened...

Emily: "Mom! Guess what? I accidentally grew out of my snail panties!"

Me: "Oh no! You accidentally grew out of your snail panties? I'm so sorry. I know they were your favorite, but it's ok. That's what happens when you grow up."

Emily: "Wait! I have an idea! What if we get a tiny little container with a lid and I could put them in there and keep them forever?"

Me: "I think that is a great idea, and I am going to get another little container so I can put you in it and keep you forever. Deal?"

Emily: "Deal. I love you mom."

Me: "I love you more."

If only they really made containers that would do that.
