Promise Myself

Last night Olivia and I had to head out to the store after supper. It was getting close to bed time, so I was preparing Olivia for the fact that it would be bedtime for her by the time we got home. As usual....she was attempting to make a deal with me, stating that she was hungry and that when we got home, she would like a quick snack and then go to bed. She always says it with the cutest little voice and then the infamous question? "Promise Mom?" I answered her and said, "Well Olivia, Mommy can't promise anything this time of night!" She paused for a second and then said, "Well...I'll promise myself then."
