Syd...the party planner

So, this sweet girl is just amazing.  The other night (7 p.m.) I was washing dishes and she came up to me and said, 'Oh, Mom...by the way....WE (meaning herself and the other eight/nine year olds at school) have planned a surprise birthday party for our teacher!'  I chuckled to myself and said, 'Great!  When are you throwing your party?' She replies, 'Tomorrow--and I signed up to bring the decorations....and the cake.  Can you tell me where a tablecloth is that I can bring?  I really need a tablecloth!'  I immediately started laughing....hysterically.  This little lady is literally turning into her mother.  (Poor thing!)  I began laughing even harder after I asked her what everyone else was bringing to the party and she told me they were assigned to be the 'distracters'....no one else bringing treats....no one else bringing decorations...just her ;)  I sense a hereditary pattern forming!
