Spirit ON

At Hannah's school, once a month, they have "Spirit Day". Really, this is a day for all of the kids to be in the same school t-shirt. So this is the conversation in the car on the way to school today.

Hannah: "Momma, I don't have my spirit on."
Momma: "Today is not spirit day, Hannah."
1 minute pause
Hannah: "Momma, I don't have my spirit on."
Momma: "Hannah, I really don't think today is spirit day. It's next Friday."

We get to school where the school carpool area is canvased with blue freakin' spirit shirts.

Momma (to the teacher that got Hannah out of the car): Today is spirit day, isn't it?".
Teacher: Yes, but you have enough things on your mind. Don't worry about it. Besides, Hannah has enough spirit without her t-shirt!

I saw Hannah cut her eyes at me as she was on the sidewalk going in to school with her pink shirt on. I felt daggers go through my heart.

She's just too smart.
