modest expectations

I asked Maggie what she would like for her birthday coming up.

She said, "purple cake with brown frosting."

"Well, what about a present? A toy or something?" I pressed.

She put her finger up to her temple and said, "Think, think, think," while tapping. (a la Winnie the Pooh) "Coloring books! That's what I would like. Coloring books."

Can do little one. Mommy is on the hunt for your birthday gift.
