Of my nine year old daughter who is a total Tomboy. And Tomboy is not nearly a strong enough term. We ran into a store and came out to an insanely torrential thunderstorm." We hung out under the overhang for a bit, but my older daughter needed to use the restroom and wanted to leave. I said I would make a run for it and bring the car around.

My nine year old yells "Mom, give me your purse and I will hold it and stand near the wall!!!" LOL. I brought the car around and loaded everything in. On our way home I said I was surprised by her concern for my bag. My older, all-girly daughter responds "Yeah, it's just a bag!" My nine year old quickly turns to her and says very indignantly, "Just a bag?!!!! That is some gorgeous leather there and it would be a crime to get it wet and ruin it!!

I swear I have never actually said those words. ROTFLMAO!! Still beaming with pride and laughing myself silly!

She is totally NOT my mini me!! Goodness, she wore a suit and tie to her First Holy Communion!! Totally a Shiloh Pitt. That's what makes her reaction so priceless.

My older daughter...is so much a mini me that people stop us and comment when we are out. So odd when my kids get out of character. Freaky Friday for sure!

Should have added it to the vows... "I promise never to judge or comment when you come home with more Coach shopping bags. I promise to never ask if that is another new bag you are carrying and play along with the 'this old thing comment' in blissful silence!!" LOL

LOL! My son has zero interest in any of my bags or love of leather, but he knows Momma loves her handbags, I could see him saying something like that too! :laugh: Your daughter is my son's age, they come up with some funny one liners at this age, don't they?

I love this story! Out of curiosity, which bag were you carrying?

I was carrying the large grommet Carlyle. It is very nice and light leather, but it is not like I was carrying around vachetta!! She has no idea the difference between great leather and canvas, which is what makes her serious and intense response even more hilarious. Probably would have been just fine after it was dried off anyway,

I have no idea where she gets some of the things she says! They pick up everything like little sponges. I was doling out ice cream money for school the other day and she held out her hand and told me to "Make it rain!" Now that is from a show on the Disney Channel. **rolling eyes**

What an adorable story! I love it that she sees how much fun you have with your bags and how important they are to you, and reflects that. It sounds like you have wonderful kids!
