The other evening, after a lovely dinner out with the family, we stopped by a local cupcake shop. Our goal was to purchase some treats for Elder Niece's birthday party the next day. All three of us took our time admiring the delectable display case, and then we placed our order for eight cupcakes in a box. I carried the box out of the shop, and we were careful to explain that they were FOR TOMORROW and FOR YOUR COUSIN. Everything seemed fine until we got into the car. Delphinium was strapped into her car seat with M and I up front. The cupcakes were balanced on my lap. This is what we heard from the backseat:
D: What you doing Mommy?
Me: Just getting ready to go.
D: What you eating?
Me: Nothing, I'm just holding the cupcakes.
D: Daddy what you eating?
M: Nothing. I'm driving.
D: You eating something?
Me: No Honey we are not eating these cupcakes at all. We are saving them for your cousin.
D: You eating cupcakes?
M: We are not eating anything up here.
D: What you eating?
It went on this way the WHOLE way home. Luckily she forgot about them overnight, so we didn't have to endure a repeat of the car scene the next morning.
