purple thumbs

Dear Baby,

Today you went to school with purple nail polish on both your thumbs.
Why?
Because you refused to have breakfast without it.

So what will i do now when i pick you up in the afternoon and your teacher questions me regarding my sanity for allowing a boy purple nail paint? in school? especially where little girls are not even allowed colored hair bands?
I'll tell them, the world wide web says purple color signifies "good judgement". You refused some of my favorite colors like black which indicates mystery or yellow which points to the fact that i am very talkative, and instead chose a color that says that someday you will be a great "judge". since purple indicates "good judgement" i know it now. and i will tell her too. that you have a great big eye for good judgement. and purple nail-polish just reinforces that.

and i think i need to call my soon to retire legal-aid father and give him the good news that you are going to be a great big judge. maybe that'll help me keep him from pestering me to pursue law. i am sure it's worth a try. so yayy for purple nail-polish
