She may be small and she may only be 8 (although,the girl's got a mouth like a 13 year old, or what-evuh, Mom) but, I was once told by a psychic that my youngest daughter has "a very old soul."
What? She body-slammed me in the mall for a "quick reading" (the psychic, I mean, not Hopey) and well, it was for free, you know?
"You'll find what you're looking for when you don't need it, anymore."
Story of my life, really and it didn't take a psychic to convince me that my friend Melisa (with one S) was right, when she called, all the way from Chicago (because, blogging friends do that, for each other, sometimes) and helped me look for the season pass I lost, last week (no, she's not psychic, at least, I don't think she is, what-evuh) because, she found what she was looking for, right after seeing my post on Twitter and Facebook (because, I have no life) weird, right?
I mean, Melisa (with one S) finding her stuff, RIGHT AFTER reading my Facebook page…
[sound of crickets chirping]
Aaaanyway, I never did find the pass (DAMMIT!) but, had no trouble getting a replacement (thank you, Great Adventure!) so, I dropped my two oldest at the park and took my two youngest to a nearby mall – just in case it rained, or something, since there were storms in the area.
I may be a dork, but I'm not stupid, much.
"Oh look, Mommy needs a new phone!"
I stopped by the T-Mobile kiosk (because, I'm thinking about breaking up with Verizon) and was about to ask about their family plans, since we need to be adding another kid, or two, soon, damnit.
"Don't touch the phones, baby."
Too late.
HUMMMMM…POW…ZAP!
Hope poked one of the touch phones and ALL the lights went out in the ENTIRE mall!
"OMG, what did you do?!?"
If only I had taken a picture of Hope's face, right at that moment (another reason why I'm probably going to h-e-double hockey sticks, btw) because, I canNOT even begin to describe the absolute look of terror, you know, thinking that she broke the mall.
"Well, touch it again and maybe the lights will come back on!"
The T-Mobile dude was sweet and, if you were to ask me, was sort of cute, too.
"Can I, Mom?"
I maybe a dork, but I'm not raising stupid kids, much.
"Sure, why not?"
Aaaand, on the 50th day of summer vacation, Hope brought power back into the Freehold Mall and saw that the light was good.
"I've got the POW-WAH!"
I maybe a dork, but I'm a little scared that the girl is a bit paranormal, too.
[phone rings]
"They closed the park, can you come pick us up?"
Aaaand, it seems to run in the family.
[cue eerie music]
Stupid psychics!

Heee heeeeee….wow, the next time I need for the power to go off around here (??? I don’t know.), I’ll give her a call! That’s actually a pretty good story that she can tell if she wants some of her classmates to be intimidated by her.
In other news, technically we could say that you *did* find “a” pass to Six Flags. Just because it’s a new one, and, err, you paid a replacement fee or whatever, you still “found” it. Well, sorta. Maybe.

I wish I could have borrowed your daughter when my power went out a couple of weeks ago!

I’m such a dork. Now all I can think of is the Snap song that goes “I’ve got the Powah!”.
BTW, was the phone she touched an iPhone, ’cause I wouldn’t be surprised if they had an app to control the mall lights 😉

Ya know, I have to ask her…hold on…it was the My Touch (in red)…because, the girl remembers stuff like that, all the time. Me, not so much!
Hugs,
