you'll laugh. you'll cry.
Today in the car home from the Caffe Lena Poetry Festival, Nadia suddenly took exception to being in her car seat and began demanding to be out of it. After we reiterated all the reasons why she knows full well that won't happen in a moving car, she resorted to "eh eh eh" whining.
In an attempt at distraction, Robin said "Is there a monkey in the car?"
She replied, with full-tilt melodrama, "No, it's your Nani, struggling and struggling to get out of her seat."
It doesn't translate to print so well, but Robin and I laughed for a full five minutes.
