Brave

We went to see the movie "Brave" today. As we are leaving the theater, our faces covered with tear stains...
Me: It is hard to be a parent.
Gwen: It is hard to be a teenage daughter.
Me: ?
Gwen: You can't blame ANYONE for what you've done.

Parents still cool

Gwenchik and I went to Target to pick up some supplies, and while their decided to use a motorized chair to navigate the store considering that I am already 8 months along. The chair would make loud noses when backing up and in general attracted a lot of attention.
Gwen: Mom, you are so cool! You do not seem to care that everyone is looking! Can we just ride around the store one big circle?
....
After several circles, and her riding on my lap (against the general rule, but still fun) pressing buttons
Gwen: You are so cool, not like other moms -- you actually know how to break the rules and not be caught doing it -- and when you are caught -- everyone just smiles and goes along!
