mom? I wanna be in the newspaper...

Thanks to Kyla's boy who was in the paper last week - Tatum wanted me to hook her up with the powers that be. This is how the conversation went:

Tatum: mom?
Me: yes?
Tatum: I wanna be in the newspaper.
Me: really? why?
Tatum: Because Seth was, so can you just phone them?
Me: phone who?
Tatum: ugh. the newspaper.
Me: and what am I supposed to say?
Tatum: umm, well *shrugging* just tell them that you have a good kid, and she just wants to be in the paper ... that's all. I'm sure they will.
Me: I'm not sure it works like that.
Tatum: please, will you just take a picture, and then phone them.
----small break to take a few snappies ---
Tatum: nooooowwwwww can you phone them?
Me: how about I put your picture up on my blog instead?
Tatum: *sigh* ok. mom?
Me: yes my dear...
Tatum: well, can I just have some gum?

If I'd only have known this was an evil plot to get some gum - we'd all have been happily blowing bubbles an hour ago *sigh*. Lord love a lamb....
