"I want a diarrhea!!!"
I love kids.
I really do.
Especially when they make me laugh so hard I cry.
And even more when I see other people trying not to laugh.
We went for our customary Saturday lunch at McDonald's. They have Hello Kitty toys right now. On a previous trip, H had gotten a diary as her Happy Meal toy. She loved it.
So today when Daddy came back with the toys, A could not wait to see what one she had gotten. Mostly cuz she specifically requested the diary on the way in. Apparently Daddy didn't hear that though, and requested two of the "Hello Kitty heads" that H had asked for (mirrored compact with strawberry lipslogg).
Upon seeing that the toy was the Hello kitty head, A pushed out her bottom lip and exclaimed, "BUT I WANTED DIARRHEA!!!".
I couldn't help it. I laughed. R laughed. I had to wipe tears off while I told A that Daddywould exchange it. She loudly exclainmed "But I want diarrhea!!" again, bringing shudders to me as I tried to control my laughter.
And then I noticed the older people sitting near us. Politely trying to pretend they hadn't heard what she said, but not being so good at it. Snickering into closed fists and looking away to laugh. Smiling those "I love it, not my kid!" smiles.
As A and her Daddy walked awya to exchange it, one lady gave me the biggest smile.
"How old is she?" she asked.
"Four," I replied.
"Such a great age," she said as she laughed. "So cute. And that made my day."
Oh boy. If she only knew what her smile did for mine.

Kenna,
Your Mom printed a copy of this for me to read. It certainly made me laugh but also brought a little memory tear to my eye as well.
Thanks for the fun. I hope you will eventually assemble some of this into a book. You write very well.
