Scene: Living room. The girls are playing on the floor. I'm putting up Easter decorations. I have my back to them when Coco starts crying her for-real cry. I turn around and see that she's on her back and Zuzu is hugging/squeezing her.
Me: Hey! Stop that! Coco is telling you that hurts! You have to be gentle!
Coco: Waaaaaah! Waaah!
Me: Oh, poor Coco!
Zuzu: Oh, Mama. I just hurt her with my magic! We take her to the trolls. She be okay.**

Three things other than ADORABLE.
ReplyDelete1. JIMMY JOHNS HAS A DRIVE-THRU? WTF, Chicago. I've never seen one of those! I'd eat there way more if that was the case here.
2. You are putting up Easter decor? Damn, I'm way behind. And yet, I sit here typing comments instead of hauling my ass down to the basement to get them.
3. Benjamin has now personally requested to see Frozen. No, Costco, I will not pay $24 for that damn movie. Borrowing from a friend soon.
That girl has personality for DAYS! Love it!
