Conquer the World

On the way to school today,

D tells me: "Hurry mama. We are going to be late?"

Me: "late for what?"

D: "I have to conquer the world! (starts to sing) Conquer the world… CONQUER to WOOORRLLDD.  I am going to Conquer the world."

 Me: "At preK? Does Mrs Nixon know?" 

 D: "No. (pause for effect) You better tell her that I am going to CONQUER THE WORLD!!"

 Of course, once we arrived, she did in fact, look pointedly at me until I told her teacher of her plans.   Today could have been a snow day.  It was an "optional" day, which is really unprecedented, because the schools were excusing any students who stayed home in light of impending winter weather arriving around lunch time.

D wanted to go to school.  Apparently, it was because she had a big day planned. 

 I have complete confidence that she will, one day, make an impression on this world.  

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, Plans for good (conquering can be good) and not for evil (no evil minions here).  To give you a future and a hope."  Jeremiah 29:11
