Okay, so thanks to a fever-induced lack of good judgement by C several months ago, B was introduced to the Never Say Never documentary about young Justin Bieber. And, as all 4 year olds do, we have watched this documentary a gagillion times. If it was a good old VHS, it'd be worn out by now. Thank goodness for Netflix (or curse them, for making this documentary available in the first place...). When her sister finally completely objected to watching it for the thousandth time, B pitched a fit, of course, but then silently swore to herself she'd watch him every time D was away from the house. The less-than-secret love affair could continue. Now, any time D gets to go somewhere that B can't, like a play date with a school friend, B consoles herself with the sweet peppy music of mini-Bieber.

Needless to say, she's a bit obsessed with him now.
But only with the 14 year old Justin. She doesn't want anything to do with the adult version. Thankfully. And because she is only 4, and time makes no real sense to her, this apparent contradiction in reality does not yet pose a problem for her. She's even decided that when she's an adult (age 14 in her mind) she's going to adopt a baby, and if it's a boy, she's calling it Justin, and if it is a girl, she's calling it Joostin!
We went back to school clothes shopping at Value Village yesterday, and she's beside herself with glee because we relented and let her get 2 JB shirts... she was in love, and they were only $2 bucks each.... D rolled her eyes, and B's response was an indignant "What?!! I NEEEEEEDED them! Of COURSE I did!"
The BEST JB story happens today though - going through B's clothes drawers to pull out the old stuff she doesn't wear or that doesn't fit anymore... I pulled out a few shirts that just have never made the cut. She agrees that she's not going to wear them, but to console either herself, or me (I'm not sure which) she says to me, in complete seriousness "That's okay, we'll save them for [baby] Justin - he'll need them when he does his rock concerts". She was DEAD SERIOUS!!!!!
HOW do you keep a straight face when hit with that?!! seriously?!!
gawd having kids is awesome.
Rissa's Grandpa was trying to connect with her when he came to visit us in NY. "Who's this singer that all you kids are into?" (At 10, Rissa wasn't.) Jason something? Jason Biber? Rissa almost wet herself she was laughing so hard. She immediately said that she wanted a t-shirt saying "I (heart) Jason Biber." We made her one with our friend Dane's picture on it who looks like the Uni-Bomber. I love that she gets irony.
