Fair Warning

The kids were given temporary tattoos for Valentine's. I sat and watched as Pay applied the pink and red, heart shaped tats all over Ave and Owen's little bodies.
"I want one right here," Avery says, as she turns around, sticks out her behind and points to the middle of the very bottom of her back.
"Lovely," I am thinking.
Then she turns to me and in a nonchalant fashion states,"Mom, I probably WILL get a tattoo."
Instantly, her face changes. With a look of sheer seriousness and one raised, pointed finger in the air, she declares, "But I will NEVER smoke!"
Wide eyed and speechless, I just nod my head.
I am laughing inside and try desperately to keep a straight face.
"There I have it," I think to myself, a quick glimpse into Avery's future.
Time will tell if that tattoo transpires.
But, until then, let it be documented......
This Mamma's been WARNED!
