Whenever a Britney Spears or Taylor Swift song comes on the radio or they appear on television my 3 year old yells “Mommy! That’s you!” Which is delusional and delightful all at the same time. Of course I couldn’t carry a tune to save my life and I’ve never looked like either of them at any point, like ever. I like donuts and I’m not afraid to say it.
However, it’s always a reality check whenever she exclaims that I”m on the radio or TV. Because to her, I’m just as beautiful. Just as talented and just as extraordinary.
The other day, “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” came on the radio. Her face lit up, her eyes became as big as saucers and she exclaimed
“Mommy…that’s…ME”
