Cadence-ism

This money shot is the one we will frame for when boy friends come over. Cadence has been on her school's jump club this last year and is posing outside with her awards. I am extremely grateful to the school and one mom in particular who has volunteered all her time so that the kids can have a jump club. I think it is awesome.
So the story I have to tell about the girl really doesn't have anything to do with Jump club, just thought the picture was a little funny. Everyday after school she has homework and chores, so one day after walking home from school (about 3/4 a mile) in around 90 degree heat she went straight into the bathroom declaring she was taking a cool bath. Fine, when she exited the bathroom she could only be bothered to put on pajama bottoms (pink pants with purple and pink horses on them). She planted herself under the swamp cooler (topless) until I reminded her she still needed to do her chore which was taking out all the garbage in the house. So she took a sack around and gathered up all the garbage and was ready to take them outside when I kindly point out that she will have to wear a shirt to go outside. She goes into her room and comes back with a cowboy hat on covering her long hair... "um Cadence you still need a shirt." She points at the hat like its obvious and says "the hat's covering my hair so no one will know I'm a girl - boy's go around without shirts all the time" She is rail thin but um.... the pink horsey pajamas? um no "put a shirt on!" She huffed and gruffed and put a shirt on.
