Jake brought home two balloons from Scouts. One was already blown up. Lila spied the flat balloon and was immediately begging to have a turn blowing up a balloon.
When no one was looking she grabbed it and started trying to blow it up. Jake didn't care, but it made Brian upset. (More for OCD reasons than that she took her brother's balloon.) "Lila! Don't put that in your mouth!"
Her lip pouted out and her eyes filled with tears, "But Daddy... I just wanted a turn blowing up a balloon."
"It's okay, honey. You can blow up the balloon... Just don't... Never mind."
I started to laugh, "You were just about to say, 'You can blow up the balloon, just don't put it in your mouth!' weren't you?"
He frowned at me and said, "No! I just didn't want her to put the whole balloon in her mouth!"
Um, yeah. She's four years old, not four months... you aren't fooling anyone, sweetie. :)
