Well, I think I've done it. I've managed to pass along the list writing compulsion to my daughter. Today's wonderful list was created and inspired entirely by Sloane and a friend at school. The first 13 entries are theirs. The rest, we came up with together.
Things That Are Impossible To Enjoy
* eating or smelling a Durian (This is a fruit that smells like cat pee.) *
* watching someone enjoy eating school food *
* someone stealing your last Oreo *
* forgetting your homework *
* eating school food *
* writer's block *
* push ups*
* forgetting to set the timer when baking cookies *
* Operation Red Jericho by Joshua Mowll*
* your favorite shoes getting too small *
* having to run the mile in PE *
* extra lit circle reading *
* crybabies *
* having your cell phone battery die in the middle of a conversation *
* a flat tire on your way to an appointment *
* cleaning the bathroom toilets *
* when your candidate loses *
* emptying the dishwasher *
* computer crashes *
* being on hold *
* running late *
*your parents being in China on your birthday*
* broken air-conditioning in August *
* back-ordered Christmas gifts *
* breaking an heirloom *
* undeliverable email *
* missing lunch *
Jeffrey took the picture of Sloane and I last weekend. I edited it this morning.

Great list and a lovely picture Relyn! I would add having wet, cold feet-you know when you go out in sandals expecting good weather but instead you get sudden cold rain. I would also add going to the dentist. I suppose it is almost alright as I like my dentist but it is impossible to actually enjoy it!
I chose the word snippets as my house, which is covered in cotton, yarn and fabric snippings, made me think of it!
Sweet picture and a great list. I agree with all of them.
Thanks for the smile - great List!
I guess you have inspired me, as I have two lists currently on my blog!
Aren't daughters the best! I love your lists. I love the list itself, I love the shapes you make and I love your picture with your daughter.
Great list! I have nightmares about Durian, I swear.
Beautiful.
I love your postings
Blessings
Love you

Ahhh it's a long time since my favourite shoes got too small but I do remember clearly that happening when I was 5. I was heartbroken.
Great list, may I add "Watching someone eat snails", snails terrify me and I can't imagine eating one.
you know, you are the one
who inspired me to love lists,
too!
nice ones, Sloan:)

adorable together:):):)

Always have loved seeing these amazing lists, and how great is it that Sloane is getting the hang of this too. I can hardly believe she is growing up this much, and think that she is lovely. also, thanks so much for stopping by my blog! Hope that you are having a lovely weekend!

How cute is this?! And I totally agree about durian!
Beautiful photo, beautiful you and Sloane. Love the list too!
