Another Conversation with Emily:

Me: "Emily, go upstairs and get your soccer clothes on."

Emily: "ok."

(I should have been alerted right there given the unusual instant cooperation.)

Result:

Me: "Wow, Em. That's some outfit!"

Emily: "Thanks!"

Me: "Hmmm"

Emily: "Mom? Will my socks and shoes match this ok?"

Me: "Yes Em, that's the beauty of an outfit like that, everything matches."

Emily: "Good, cause it's important that your shoes match!"

Remember a few weeks back when I said there might be hope for her yet? Nevermind.
