Long long ago, Charley decided that she wanted a "Blue's Clues" birthday. As some of you may know, Blue's Clues is a show about a blue puppy who uses clues to tell her friend, Joe, what she wants and he has to figure out what the clues mean. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that she chose Blue's Clues because she is seemingly much more obsessed with Dora, Diego, Mickey Mouse, and the Wonder Pets . . . but whatever my princess wants for her birthday, she can have. And, thankfully for me, a local party store carries a good amount of Blue's Clues birthday supplies.
Here is my problem: Charley is absolutely ADAMANT that she wants Blue's friend, Joe, to be at her birthday party. I've tried explaining as nicely as I can that it's just a show and that Joe is just a character, but when I see the look on her face while I'm trying to explain this, I feel like I'm telling her that Santa isn't real and he isn't coming to her house anymore. This is Joe:
We only know one person named Joe. And Joe lives in Arkansas. So the only feasible alternative to breaking my little girl's heart? Joe, in Arkansas, you are going to have to come to Hawaii next weekend, wear an orange v-neck sweater, tell Charley Happy Birthday while giving her a "thumbs up," and help her look for some clues. That's my only way out.
