I got more stuff.
“You do.” Daddy chuckled in the kitchen. “But I’m going to win. You’re getting distracted.”
“Because I got stuff, Daddy.” I got books and crayons and a puzzle. “I got paper, Daddy.”
He even remembered white paper too.
“Paper and coloring books, and I figured out which of my streaming services has cartoons. That was harder than you’d think.” Daddy huffed and sounded silly. “I think I confused the algorithms completely because I’m getting the weirdest ads in my newsfeed now.”
Giggling, I dug through the books. “I’m looking at the books, Daddy.”
I was going to find the best book and then I was going to make Daddy show me more cartoons so his ads were silly and made him huff and sigh.
“I’m back.” Daddy was very proud of himself and even grinned big when I flopped back on the floor. “I win.”
“But I’m supposed to win.” Even Dally said so. “That’s the rules.”
Daddy shrugged and went over to the big chair that had to be his favorite place to sit because it was big and soft and had books and stuff on a tiny table. “That’s not in the limits you’ve given me so far.”
Oh.
“I have to fix that.” How did I forget? “I’m so silly.”
“That’s okay.” Daddy sat down in his chair and put my drink down on his table. “But if you want to, you can give me a kiss as my prize.”
Hmm.
“You won, so you need a prize.” Crawling over to Daddy, I climbed up in his lap and he even knew he had to wrap his arms around me. “That needs to go on the list too. I think I forgot that part.”
“We can’t have that.” Daddy tapped my nose and picked up my cup. “We’ll make sure we add both. How about we make a special list for important rules?”
“Yes.” Oh, my cup had handles. “I got two handles, Daddy. You’re so smart.”
He was being a great Daddy.
“Thank you.” He gave me another cheek kiss. “I thought you might like that.”
Daddy was cute when he was proud of himself.
“I do.” And it even had a top so I wouldn’t spill it. “See?”
I showed him and took a drink. “You did a good job, Daddy.”
Dally was wrong. I didn’t have to teach him everything.
“Thank you.” More cheek kisses. “I’m glad I was right. It was hard but I did my best.”
“Your best is so good.” It was my turn to kiss his cheek. “What else do you think I’d like?”
I liked toys and I liked dino movies and I liked lots of stuff.
But Daddy got his thinking face on and made thinking sounds. “I think you’re a boy who likes milk too.”
Oh.
Hmm.
Dally said I had to be careful talking about stuff that might make Daddy nervous…and milk might make Daddy nervous.
