Elena and I have been visiting Iowa. Relatives have given us many presents for Elena. Most of them are pink. But Elena is not like her mother -- she loves pink.
Today, there was an incident where Elena did NOT want to take a bath, even though she olfactorily needed one.
ER: NO NOOOOOO!!
Me: But, you need a bath. It will be fun!
ER: I don't WANT one!!
Me: But you need one. We're going out to go shopping and out to lunch, and you need a bath if you want to do that.
(one second pause)
ER: I want a bath! ... C'mon, let's go!
Later, Elena had forgotten the reason for her reversal, and was fussing about getting her hair washed. Amy reminded her that we were going shopping, after which Elena remembered to be extremely cooperative.
We're getting ready to go out the door...
ER: We're going to eat!? And then we're going SHOPPING! Yay! I LIKE going shopping!

I would just like to point out that Elena enjoys errands of any sort, including going to the bank (by my mother's report). So it's not just shopping.
