A Hilarious One-Woman Show Starring My Daughter

This morning.
My daughter came downstairs and said she wanted to eat watermelon.
She's gotten much better at handling a kitchen knife, but she still seems a bit scared of it.

So, I piled up some cut watermelon for her in a ramen bowl.

My daughter finished eating.

Daughter: "All done!"

Me: "Alrighty."

Daughter: "Clean up after you eat. Okay!"

Saying that, she took the bowl to the kitchen.
When she came back,

Daughter: "Put the salt back where it belongs. Okay!"

Me: "Pfft, haha!"

Daughter: "Wash it properly. Mommy is busy, you know.
If you don't do it, I won't make it for you anymore.
Okay!"

The words my daughter used in her one-woman show were all things I say every day.
She played both roles, cleaning up with a smile.
The air around her was sparkling, pink flowers were in full bloom, and she looked like she was having a great time.

I wish she would always do things like this.

I know full well that it will take a little more time for that to happen!
If I get impatient, I lose!
She looks like she's having fun, so that's good enough! 💛
