Toy Story 3

Salem and her good buddy Gabrielle from school went on a "super-cool-movie-date" as Salem called it. While preparing for her movie date, Salem was enthusiastic about organizing the materials for her outfit; the uniform she calls her "Spy Suit".

I have no recollection of where said "Spy Suit" came from, I'm assuming it came from the myriad of hand-me-downs we've collected over the years. But, on closer inspection I realized that this outfit is actually a Junior Girl Scout uniform, as the shirt has little 'G's and is that official Girl Scout Green.When I made that 'ah-ha' connection between the odd outfit and it being cut of the Girl Scout cloth, Salem was devastated.
"Mom! No, no. My spy suit is NOT a Girl Scout uniform! Quit saying that!"
me: "Sal, I'm sorry, but that's what all those little 'G's stand for on the shirt. But, we can make up a different meaning for the 'G's."
her: "OK! I'll tell my friend Gabrielle that they are 'G' for Gabrielle!!"


Above: This is an old school Junior Girl Scout uniform I found. It's not the Spy Suit, but you get the idea.



From the movies, Gabrielle's mother sent me a photo of the girls posing in front of the Toy Story 3 marquee. Note that she has to put at least one pink item on, even with her Spy Suit. I love the Nichole Richie head-cocked-with-pointed-toe pose. Cute yes, but not very spy-like.

Talk to me...I love it when strange people give me advice on parenting.
