As I was informed by my mother, the scales are tipping in favor of Jack as far as video footage goes. So I now need to even it out with a heart-wrenchingly cute video of her latest escapades. Unfortunately, tonight, some stories will have to do. Hey, it's just the way it is.
The first Tessa story happened at lunch. We met some church friends at Le Peep. Of course, we all got deeply involved in conversation so that Tessa, having finished eating, got bored. She decided to get off of her chair and begin dancing around the table. She was very graceful and serious. The waitress came up and said, "Are you dancing?". Tessa replied, "I'm a princess. I'm Snow White." The waitress spent a few minutes giving Tessa her undivided attention before leaving with a few of our plates. In the back, she must have told all of the waiters and waitresses that Tessa was a princess because every time one of them would walk by our table, they would address her as a princess. They would say, "Excuse me, princess" or "Hi there princess". Every one of them. Tessa was enchanted, obviously, and she spent the rest of lunch acting regal.
The second Tessa story involves nudity. And it's a little PG-13, so you've been warned! We had life group tonight. There are several kids and they run around together in packs like feral dogs. Tessa prefers the boys because for one thing they are closer to her age, and for another--they have lots of fun. Too much fun, in fact. At some point while we were having our Bible study upstairs, two of the boys decided to get naked. They not only got naked, but they proceeded to play with their you-know-whats by shaking them as the jumped on a trampoline in the basement. They also convinced Tessa to get naked, too. One of the children couldn't watch it any longer and came to tattle. We arrived in time to catch Tessa before she was completely naked. We had to have a little talk about keeping our clothes on. We aren't sure when we will need to have a talk about what boys have compared to what girls have, but after tonight, I'm sure it will be sooner rather than later.
One of the boys' dads told me it will be funny to remind Tessa and his son of these events when they grow up and go out on a date. I thought that was a little presumptuous--but what do I know?

okay, this had made me laugh out loud three times (and that's not easy to do right now!)
it just goes to show, doesn't it? (you can interpret that anyway you want)
