Helper Lady rolls eyes

At the beginning of Spring, Ruby and I went to the florist to get some seeds for planting in pots on the windowsill. She b-lined for the sunflower seeds while I called on an employee to help us decide what would grow indoors in pots most successfully. I explained to Ruby that by learning about seeds and choosing the right ones that are known to grow indoors, we would be setting ourselves up for success. Here is the conversation that followed.

Ruby: I want to grow these sunflower seeds, Mama.

Helper Lady: Sweety, those will never come to bloom indoors, they need lots of direct sun and oxygen.

Ruby: Mama, I don't want to set up for success, I want to SEE FOR MYSELF!! I'm gunna plant THESE SUNFLOWER SEEDS AND SEE FOR MYSELF.

And just for fun, here is a shot of Ruby playing Pediatrician-midwife with my old childhood cabbage patch doll, whose blood pressure, Doctor Ruby reported, is forty-point-three and nine-six-and-a-half-hundred-point-seventy. She did pull through, thank goodness, after a trip to the emergency room.
