It seemed innocent enough, she stayed home from work today and thought it would be fun to take Sylvie to visit Grandma Winnie for lunch. I'd get a nice easy day at work without a toddler running around, how could I say no? Little did I know that many many hours later, my mother would pull into my driveway with what can only be described as a rabid, miserable, EXHAUSTED little monster. My mom actually chuckled, giggled almost, when she breezily uttered "I don't know, she just didn't want to take a nap Kace!"
Hmmm....I wonder why she wouldn't want to nap? Could it have been all the grilled cheese and french fries and probably cookies and chocolate milk? Or how about the visit to at least one toy store, where I've been told that at one point Sylvie had an entire shopping cart full of CRAP loaded up (2 or 3 bagfulls of which came home with her!)? Or I know, maybe it was the hour or two of chasing Sassy the cat around Grandma Winnie's house, one of Sylvie's favorite obsessions, that she still asks me about?
It's all fun and games with Grandma! Grandma, who gets to cheerfully drop this insane clown posse off on my doorstep and then scoot off to her quiet and peaceful house. SHE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO NAP. Pfft.
