Baby, It's Cold Outside

I have a story to share.

This week, it's been cold here in Amarillo. Really cold.

Genevieve loves to go outside, and she gets antsy if she's inside too long. So Monday afternoon, she decided it was time to go out. She went to the front door, pointed and scowled, and told me "Ba!", which clearly meant, "Hey, it's time to go outside."

I told her no, it's too cold for little girls out there. So she went to the back door, pointed and scowled, and told me "Ba!" again, which clearly meant, "Fine, then let's go out this one."

I told her no, it's too cold for little girls out there as well. So she went to the big picture windown in the kitchen, pointed and scowled, and told me "Ba!" again, which clearly meant, "Have it your way, we'll just go out here."

And when I told her no a third time, I had a sad little girl on my hands. She went to the couch to pout a little while. And as she was just starting to get involved in something else, Daisy went out her dog door. This was just too much for Genny, who pointed at Daisy and yelled at me "ma MA" Translation: I never get to do what I wanna do, everyone else gets to go outside, even the dog, and you are the meanest mama ever!
