He got up with the plate and put it in the dishwasher before returning with one of her sippy cups filled with water.
“Can I have fairy juice?” she asked, wrinkling her nose at the cup of plain water.
“No more fairy juice. Just plain water.”
Millie sighed. “That sucks.”
Spike just gave her a look as he stood there.
“I mean, thanks, Daddy!”
“Yep. That’s what I thought you meant to say.”
Silly Daddy. Well, she’d let him have his delusions while she drank boring water.
Picking up the sippy cup, she gulped it down with a big sigh of satisfaction.
“Good?” Spike asked.
“Yep. That’s the good stuff, Daddy.”
He snorted in amusement. She shuffled around on her seat. “Daddy, down!”
“Excuse me?” he asked in a low voice.
“Daddy, down!”
What was so hard to understand about that?
Spike put his hands on his hips as he gave her a stern look. “Is that how we ask for something?”
“Umm.” She was sensing that it was not.
“Someone has forgotten their manners.” After grabbing some wet wipes from the table, he tilted her face back so he could wash it. Next, he wiped her fingers and hands. “I think that someone needs some corner time so that they can make better choices.”
“Is that someone Chompers? Because I think he ate a chocolate bar for breakfast.” She glanced down at Chompers who sat beside her on the high-chair. “Make better choices, Chompers.”
“Chompers isn’t the one who is going into timeout. That would be Millie.”
She gasped. “Me, Daddy?”
“You.” He undid her straps, then lifted off the tray.
That’s when Millie thought she’d make her move. If she could just get away from him, then she could run . . . run like the wind!
Of course, she conveniently forgot that she hated to run.
And, as usual, Spike was one step ahead of her. He caught her as she tried to slide off the seat.
“What do you think you are doing?” he asked.
“Um, getting down, Daddy.”
“Are you allowed to get down on your own?” he asked.
“I can do it, Daddy.”
“That’s not what I asked, Millie.”
