Today Lauren announced, "Ella, guess what! My birthday party is going to be Hello Kitty. And I'm going to have a regular burro pinata!" This was news to me, and confusing to Ella.

"Why would you have a burro if your party is Hello Kitty?" she asked.

"Because Mom said sometimes it's sad to use a bat to hit a character from a show you really like." I remembered saying that once. Maybe a year ago. And, apparently, Lauren had been listening. Ella remained unconvinced that a "regular burro" was the way to go.

"I know!" Lauren said. "I think at the place where we buy balloons they have a Yoda!" She shrugged, "That could work."
