How do you say Justice in Spanish?

So over the past few months, we have realized that we have a 6 yr old who is going on about 15.  The drama with clothes really started a few months back.  Bailey takes after me and is a bit small for her age.  With the fact that she is able to fit into size 4 and 5 shirts had to come the realization that what may be printed on a shirt for a 4 yr old does not necessarily = cool for a 6 yr old.  After much discussion as to why her clothes were not good enough, we ventured into what has since become her favorite store, Justice.

Now I agree, these clothes are absolutly adorable but what I struggle with is the fact that a shirt in this store costs on average $34.   It is because of this that we hit some good sales and got her a bunch of stuff but it probably isn't as much as she would hope.  Our funny Bailey story for the day relates back to this and the creative way Brent solved it, for now.  We were folding laundry a few weeks back and Bailey was looking at tags for her clothes asking Brent where they were from.  She came across a cute shirt that she really liked and then examined the tag,  "oh, it doesn't say Justice".  Brent thought quickly and responded, "yes it does.  That is how you say Justice in Spanish".



Just the other day while putting some clothes away, she pulled out the same shirt and said, "oh I love this one so much, especially because it is the Spanish Justice shirt."  Yep, Faded Glory is how you spell Justice in Spanish.  Now we may have to translate Old Navy to French, Jumping Beans to Russian and Gap to Chinese and she will have the biggest Justice clothing collection ever.

Vacation update:  She has gotten a few of the larger clues.  She will be taking a surfing lesson while we are in San Diego so she is very excited about that.  However, she is pretty sure that that will take place in Chicago.  Yeah the surfing is great there.  Another large clue we gave her was that she likes to sing and dance to a song about this place (Viva Las Vegas).  It took a few guess of Viva Chicago and Viva Mexico to remember that Las Vegas is probably a stop on our trip.  Again, she has looked at a map and insists that Chicago is not out of the ream of possibilities.

Because she is a hockey lover I figured the clue "you will be close to where Ducks play hockey" would at least get her to a city.  Well again, it was the "Chicago Ducks, no I mean the St. Louis Ducks".  Wow, I thought I taught you better than that Bails!  (This summer Cade will have to explain to her all about the St. Louis BLUES.)
