So I pick the kids up from the tutoring center and ask where they would like to go for dinner. My son yelps out “Rubio’s” and my daughter “Agrees”. We walk in and wait our turn in line. The cashier calls out for us to approach and I tell the kids they are going to place their orders. I think of it as they are old enough to know what they want and its practice for interacting with the rest of society.

My daughter orders first, she forgets some keywords and looks over at me and I add them in so that the girl working the counter that isn’t much older than my daughter understands. My daughter completes her order and steps aside as my younger son steps up and places his order. I help him too but he doesn’t forget anything. My daughter, upon hearing the drink he ordered, jumps back over and says “I want to add that to my order as well.”

I chuckle saying “Guess you forgot all about that part.”

She retorts, “I didn’t forget. I wanted to order it at the same time as he ordered it.”

My eyes roll so far back in their sockets that you would have thought I’d gone blind. I tell her not to lie and admit she forgot it. She snaps back with “I’m not lying. Why do you have to keep diminishing what I say?”

Diminishing what you’re saying? Do you understand the words that are coming out of your mouth?

Yeah… so how’s your day?

Tootles all.
