McKinley has asked me at least once every day for the past two weeks when we are going to the Pentagon to get our secret passwords.

Sounds intriquing doesn't it?

Our upcoming adventure - aka move to Italy - is the biggest thing to happen in her five years of life.

She tells everyone we encounter that we are moving to Italy. And whether they show any interest or not she rattles off the few facts she knows about the place. She always starts with the food.

Recently she has ended every lecture on Italy with "and we have to get secret passwords before we can go."

This started after she overheard her dad going over a checklist of must-do things.

What he said to me was "You need to bring the girls to the Pentagon so we can all get our passports."

But, when you are five years old, the thought of a secret password is really cool. I wonder where I can find a decoder ring for her?
