Out of nowhere, Olivia just sprawled across the couch beside me, sighed, and said "I've always dreamed of going to a spa.  That would be my perfect day...stay all day at the spa, and have hot chocolate, and all my favorite drinks"
Me:  "what drinks?"
Olivia:  
  "rooooot  beeeeeeer"  (apparently there's a spa out there targeting 7-year-olds with their hot chocolate and root beer commercials)
Me:  "Well, maybe when you turn 13, that could be your BD present...a spa day with Mommy."
Olivia:  "12!?"
Me:  "13"
Olivia:  "11!?"
Me:  "13"
This went on for a while.  I think she's now expecting this for her 8th BD. 
Oh, my gosh, my child will be EIGHT on her next birthday.  Now I think *I* need a spa day.
