edited for tv

Ella knows she isn't allowed to watch any of Disney's "tween sensations" because, as I have explained to her, she isn't a tween. Unfortunately, I can still catch her gazing admiringly at some obnoxious young actress or another, as I did (yet again) recently. I turned off the tv and asked her what her consequence should be. She thought for a minute, then exclaimed, "I know! Take away my very, very, very, very, very . . ." She pressed her lips together, shot me a worried look, and said quietly, "Never mind."
