early-morning cute
*Donovan peeks in the bathroom while I'm towelling off. He's wearing one sock.*
Donovan: I want to go to daycare.
Me: You are going to daycare, honey, school's closed.
D: I can do it myself.
M: What?
D: Go to daycare. I promise I won't get lost.
M: Oh, daycare's too far away to walk sweetie, it would take you all day.
D: I could take the car... I promise I won't go a hundred miles an hour.
M: *TRYING NOT TO DIE* I know you wouldn't, but you don't know how to drive, kiddo. You're not tall enough to reach the pedals. And then what would Mommy drive?
D: Oh.
M: Where's your other sock?
D: *shrugs*
M: Well, were you on the couch when you put that one on? *gets a nod* Go look on the couch for your other sock.
D: *runs off* *comes back barefoot*
M: ... where are your socks??
D: *shrugs*
M: 'Kay, go upstairs, look in your dresser, get two socks, put them on.
D: *runs off*
M: *holds onto the bathroom counter and LAUGHS*
