this kid...

I was on the phone and L. was unsuccessfully trying to get my attention to ask a question. So she took it to the next level.
(So apparently she knows how to write full sentences now?)

-----------------------------------

A bit of background: L. has REALLY been looking forward to trying cotton candy. But lately anytime she's seen packages of it at the grocery store, it's been bad timing. There'd already been too much Halloween candy in the diet. She'd forgotten her pocket money. Dessert privileges had been revoked for some reason.

Wednesday: I woke up to her crying during the night.
"What's wrong, honey? Did you have a scary dream?"
"No, it wasn't scary, it was just sad. (sob) I'm really sad. (sob) It was about how I got some cotton candy and (sob) it tasted like NOTHING!"

-------------------------------------

A. was scribbling on her gut with a pen yesterday. So L. grabbed one, too and in a few seconds had composed this masterpiece (it's a unicorn, of course)
