Pre Wedding Conversation

The day before my wedding, my 5 year old niece, Jess, was showing all the kids on the playground how she could skip monkey bars - only she couldn't...she fell...she broke her arm. She called me to tell me she had a bright pink cast (she hoped I was ok with that), promised not to let anyone sign it until after the "formals" (photos, that is), and most importantly, she asked, "Does this mean I can't get my very first manicure and pedicure with you?" I tell her as long as she feels okay, I would love for her to still get her nails done. She seemed very relieved and declared, "phew, I've waited my whole life for this and would hate to miss it. See you at the salon, Cee."

The afternoon of the wedding, all the ladies were made up and ready to go to the ceremony. I had arranged for a limo to pick up my parents and me and another to pick up the bridal party (including the flower girls - one of which is Jess, in her bright pink cast and painted nails). As I'm getting into the first limo with my parents, I hear the following conversation:

Jess: Mommy, is that a HOLLYWOOD limo?!?!
Her Mom (my sis-in-law): Uh, yes, I suppose that could be considered a Hollywood limo.
Jess: Am I going in that Hollywood limo???
Her Mom: Yup, you are!
Jess: That's awesome!!! I told all my friends at school that I was going in a Hollywood limo but I didn't think I really was going in a Hollywood limo. I thought I was lying but now I'm not.
Her Mom: What? You lied to your little friends at school?
Jess: No, Mom, I thought I was lying but I am going in a Hollywood limo so I'm not lying.
Her Mom: But Jess, that is lying.
Jess: Huuh? But it's true, I am going in a Hollywood limo.

This conversation went back and forth a couple more times before her Mom said, "ok, sure, sure, whatever you say...just get in the Hollywood limo.

Classic.
