"Mommy, when I grow up I want to be a flower."
"Ummmm, you can't grow up to be a flower. People don't become flowers."
"You said flowers grow, so when I grow I want to grow up to be a flower."
Here she is practicing to be a flower.
A few hours later, in a sad, plaintive tone, "Mommy, what do you want me to be when I grow up?"
"Why anything you want to be, sweetie! What do you want to do?"
"BE A FLOWER!"
I should have seen it coming.

She looks so cute here, and a little bit grown up, too. She makes a beautiful flower.
