Shaped like a mitten.....

Ever since we first found out we were moving to Michigan we started telling Sophie that we were moving to a place shaped like a mitten. She always acted excited about it and then one day I overheard her talking to my sister on the phone and she said, "We're moving far away like you (my sis lives in Georgia) and my mom says it is shaped like a mitten, but really I think it's shaped like a square!" I kept trying to convince her that it was shaped like a mitten but she wouldn't buy it. So I dropped it. When we pulled up to our new place in Michigan Sophie looked out the car window and instantly said, "See! I told you it wasn't shaped like a mitten, it's a square!" This made me laugh because this whole time in her little mind she thought I was trying to convince her that the place we were moving to would be shaped like a mitten! She was quite proud of the fact that she was right. I guess I should start teaching her about the 50 States!
