She wanted to change her clothes mid-day, and in an effort to talk her out of it, I reminded her that her teacher told her how she was "gorgeous" in what she wore to school this morning.
Caroline clucked. "Oh Mom, being pretty is just a dream."
I asked what she meant.
"Feeling pretty is all in your head. You make yourself pretty with your brain, not some silly dress."
I nodded.
"Besides, those shorts I want to wear are really, really cute."

ABOUT CAROLINE
She's freshly 7. She's a Gemini. She likes to eat tomatoes and draw cats when she is not sharing her wisdom. Yes, this is real. No, this is not exaggerated. Sometimes I wish it was.
Several have asked, so I will answer. This site is called Kazooisms because her nickname is "The Kazoo."
You can email us at kazooisms @ gmail . com (without the pesky spaces, of course).
