Who?

Molly-Mae was super excited this morning as she put her jacket in her cubby in preschool.

MM - Look mummy there's a card in my cubby, who is it from?
ME - I don't know!
MM - Can I open it? (Before I could even answer she was ripping that envelope open like a pro). OOOOHHHH, its Cinderella! Is it an invite mummy? Its Cinderella, is it a birthday card. Read it mummy, read it? (All this time she is jumping up and down with excitement).
ME - Its an invite to a birthday party.
MM - A PARTY - YEAH!
ME - If you give it to me, I can read who its from.
MM - I'm going to a party, I'm going to a party (said in a sing, song voice)
ME - To Molly, Please come to my party, etc. etc. from Lena
MM - Stopped jumping up and down, looked at me as if I was talking crazy and said "Who's Lena"

It was classic.

Apparently British me pronounced it "Len-ah" and she is actually called "Lea-na" not the first time I have done this. I have called someone "Jesus" and not "hay-seus" and "Jaime" instead of "hi-me". Seriously, whats a girl supposed to do, I read the name as it is written. Jesus has always been Jesus in my book!

Perfect. I can picture the scene so well. I guess she is a To - MAE - to kind of girl?

Hope she enjoys the party!

What a sweet moment for her! I love the look of excitement on their little faces when invited to a party. When they get older, the kids don't make much of a fuss :(

Jesus throws me off every time. Or women who's names are Betty but spelled Bette.

Cute story - I'm glad she did indeed know the girl - iamgine the disappointment if it hadn't been meant for her? Too much to bear I think. Funnily enough I met a Jesus once and pronounced his name Hay-zeus and I was corrected because it was, in fact Jesus! So it looks like you can never win!
