K is still on winter vacation but couldn’t go to the Y to play because the electricity was out. We drove over, got drenched, drove back. Warm clothes + cocoa + movie for K. Warm clothes + coffee + work for me.
Took a break for lunch … the mini chicken tacos were met with delight, the soup with suspicion:
K: Is this a ladybug in my soup?
Me: No, it’s a bit of roasted tomato.
K: How do you know?
Me: Because I forgot to put in the ladybugs when I made the soup. (Mom cracks up at her own cleverness; kid sighs in exasperation.)
And then without segue …
K: Your cell-a-phone is charged.
Me: Yup
K: Do you love your phone?
Me: Well, I really like it but I don’t know if I’d say I love it.
K: Well, you love it but not like romantic love, right?
Me: fit of laughter prevents response
Then …
K: Can I go work on my Kiss a Cutie water park now? (So named for the stickers that come on clementines)
Me: Sure
It’s a Plan B day. A good Plan B.
