You have got to be kidding me!

Brooklyn's Birthday is this Saturday.  About a month ago Josh won tickets to the State Fair, and on Saturday Josh's buddy's band will being playing there.  We thought it would be great to go on Saturday and hear his buddy play.  But it is Brooklyn's Birthday...  Luckily we won 4 tickets, so instead of taking two other adults with us, we decided that we would take Brooklyn and one of her friends.  Not sure what we were thinking...  Two other adults would be much better :)

We talked to Brooklyn about this plan a few weeks ago...  Since then she has been going back and forth on who to take.  She finally decided who she was going to take, and asked her friend only to find out that she could not go...  So she picked another friend.  That friend's mom was asking me if we were going to do anything for her on her birthday, because they were thinking of going out of town (Labor Day camping trip).  Worrying about Brooklyn having to ask and be turned down again, I mentioned to her friend's mom that Brooklyn might be asking her to go with us to the State Fair...

Now this friend of Brooklyn could almost be called a sister.  That being said they often get in fights, and "hate" each other (only to make up minutes later).  And wouldn't you know it, about a week ago we together on evening for fun with her friend, and friend's family, and Brooklyn and her friend got in  fight.  The evening ended with Brooklyn telling her friend that she didn't want her to go with her to the State Fair!

This last Tuesday I made Brooklyn decide once and for all who she was going to take with her...  She did not pick her friend, she went with someone else.  I had the fun opportunity of telling her friend's mom what Brooklyn decided...  And then I set it up with the new friend's parents for her to go (we are going to be gone for MANY hours).

Today Brooklyn's friend called to apologize to her for what caused the fight (another blog!  Too funny).  When Brooklyn got off the phone she asked me if her new friend new about Saturday yet, and if it was not too late to take her other friend!  They were indeed friends again, and she didn't want her to feel bad about not going...

I then asked her a question...  We are suppose to see this friend this Friday evening...  I asked her what would she want to do if Friday this friend was "mean" to her again.  Would she still want to take her with us?  Her answer... "NO!!!!!  If she is mean to me on Friday, she DOES NOT get to go!"
