Mommy...I don't understand

Today I bought Kayla a cute little Snow White costume that she fell in love with at the Disney Store, now my Kayla is VERY particular about what she wears and what she likes and she is known to choose an outfit in the store only to refuse to wear it when we get home....yes she is only 3, I know I'm in for it when she's 15! So am I at all surprised when we get home and I ask if she wants to try on the dress and she tells me no she is going to be Minnie Mouse for Halloween? No I am not! I might have been open to this idea except on the way home she got into the sack and tore off the tags, which means I can't return them..grrr (The Disney Store has a very strict return policy) So I then tell her, Mommy just spent a lot of money on your Halloween costume, I go on to explain that she choose it, and I give her about 10 reasons why she should wear it. When I'm finished she is looks at me with a perplexed look on her face and ask "Mommy I don't understand what you are saying, what does expensive mean?" I start trying to define it and I explain that she should be thankful that mommy and daddy buy her such nice things...she looks at me again and says "Mommy I'm not understanding what you are telling me...but don't worry I will wear the dress, you can stop talking!" Off she goes and put's on the dress, she then comes back to tell me "If you stop talking Momma I will be Snow White for Halloween"

I started laughing right then and there! That little girl had no clue what I was talking about! All she knew was that if wearing that dress would get me to shut up then she was going to wear it and be happy!!!
