A one-year-old friend of ours came over to play last week while her parents were at a Very Boring Appointment. We had a lovely time wearing finger puppets and reading stories and not eating paper and not sucking on shoes. She might have appreciated our slick baby-tending abilities more if she wasn’t quite so ready for nap time, but still. We did alright.

And then this morning I discovered a large and unfamiliar Ziploc in my kitchen. Turns out my kids raided her diaper bag and confiscated all the snacks. Apparently that’s the price of leaving your kids at my house. Sure, come on over to play. We’ll require two rice cakes, three fruit leathers, and a snack bag of cheerios. Thanks. Oh, and one more thing: All your sippy cup are belong to us. Ah ha ha ha.
