Self-Image

Shaun, Bean and I were hanging around the family room this afternoon after Bean woke up from her nap.  Bean had been quickly dismantling our paper for most of the day.  Once she had disemboweled the colored circulars, she tossed the regular sections away and focused on finding things that she liked looking at in the coupon section.

At one point, she came up to us with a very serious expression and said,

"This is me when I was a little girl."

And this is the picture she was pointing to:

But it gets better.  

Not 10 seconds later, she comes over with another picture and an equally serious expression and says, 

"And this is me when I was a tiny baby."

The girl's got some hilarious self-image notions.  I think it took us about 15 minutes to stop giggling.
