(I was looking for a picture of Squish when I stumbled on a bunch of Chicken’s home-made anigarumi and thought I’d share, because she does such an outstanding job:-)
Anywho…
Squish goes to day care at the gym three days a week. It’s not enough. Not that I”M going banana bugshit, per se (although I am!) but because she needs someone else to talk to. How do I know? Because when we get in the car to go home from the gym, she doesn’t draw breath until we get home!
“Moommmm! How come I’m cute?”
“I have no idea.”
“But Sam’s mom thinks I’m cute.”
“Sam’s mom is a very nice person.”
“But she said I’m cute.”
“Well, she would know.”
“Moommmm! When is our house going to get old and far apart?”
“Five years ago.”
“When is that?”
“About the time you were born.”
“Why did it start falling down?”
“Because we gave up.”
“Gave up on what?”
“Keeping it clean.”
“But you still clean it now.”
“But not enough.”
“Enough for what?”
“Enough for it not to fall down.”
“Will it fall down when I’m grown up?”
“I’m sure it will.”
“Everything will fall down and stop when I leave, won’t it?”
“Absolutely.”
“Moommmm!”
*choking on soda* “What?”
“I want ice cream.”
“How about after we pick up your sister and your brother.”
“But I want it now.”
“But you haven’t asked.”
“Can I have some ice cream please?”
“How about after we pick up your sister and your brother.”
“Okay. Can I have something to drink before that?”
“Absolutely.”
“Mommm!”
“Yeah?”
“We need a two-puppy house.”
“A two puppy house? We only have one puppy!”
“I know. That’s why I need a chihuahua.”
“A chihuahua.”
” Yes. That will be my puppy. That will be good.”
“We still have Chiquita, the farting dog.”
“That’s another reason. My chihuahua won’t fart.”
“THAT is an excellent point.”
“Thank you.”
Following this is an unprecedented, peaceful two stoplight period of silence during which I can almost formulate a complete thought if it were not for the idiot driving ten miles below the speed limit in front of me, and then…
“MOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”
“WHAT?”
“I love you.”
*sigh* “Love you too, Squish. Did you say you wanted ice cream?”
