Some endings are just so predictable. Take this one for example…
Recent conversation with Put Pie
Put Pie: Mahmah, whe goin?
Unknown Mami: We’re going in the big car to pick up Papi and then we are going to a BBQ.
Put Pie: (holding a toy ladybug with wheels in her hands) Me take dis?
Unknown Mami: I don’t know mi’ja. I can’t help you carry it or pull it. You have to do it yourself even if you get tired.
Put Pie: Me do it.
Unknown Mami: Are you sure? Mami is not going to do it for you.
Put Pie: OhKay, Mahmah. Me do it. Me big gul.
Unknown Mami: Okay, Big Girl. You can bring it.
And you know what? She did a great job on the way there, never once asking for help.
And on the way home I was really impressed that she didn’t have to be reminded that it was her responsibility.
I was so proud of my big girl.
Until I looked away for a second.
Next thing I know, Papi is pulling it for her.
It gets worse! After I took this picture, Papi made me pull it the rest of the way home. The indignity of it! I couldn’t take a picture of myself pulling it; you’ll just have to take my word for it. Serves me right for thinking this story could end any other way.
lol!!! Hilarious!!! Too good!!!! And yes, I believe that you pulled it the rest of the way..:)
I’d say she did a pretty good job of being a “big gul”. Very cute pictures.
Hah! Thanks for the cautionary tale…
Omg laughing with you not at you….heehee maybe a little!!
The diaper bag. Or the baby…………..Gorgeous hair on putpie!
She’s got his number!!!
Aw. That might be the sweetest thing I have ever seen/read.
Not too surprising. Kids seem to have a knack of knowing when to hit on daddy or mommy. I think it must be a survival trait.
We’ll you do have to give her credit for keeping her end of the deal up at least half of the trip!! 🙂
Hey, she did pretty well! Love the photos
The camera really should have been placed on you when you had to pull it 🙂 LOL
Hahaha… that’s a little fantastic. 🙂 I totally believe you even though you have no photographic evidence. 😉
Funny!!!! I Love it!!!! She did do well though…LOL!!! Love the last picture! I’ve been there, so I know you pulled the toy the rest of the way home. LOL!!!
that’s funny! How does it always seem to end up that way?
Her promise was a time limited offer. Nice pics.
I believe you.Very cute!
Oh! I needed that laugh. It’s like it’s own cartoon in pictures….Leave it up to the dad to foil the plan to teach a lesson. LOL!
Best,
Tina
What a great story and pictures! Congrats on your well-deserved POTW honor. 🙂
well nobody can be a “big gul” all damn day, haha!
for the record, i would have made him either give it back to him or keep it.
Cute story, I love the pictures. Well she gave it a good try!
Ha, this is awesome. She gave it a good go though, and how adorable is a man with a baby and a pull toy walking down a city street??
ha ha ha I was thinking WOW your kid is a rockstar because I ALWAYS end up carrying their crap errr I mean toys when I let them bring them. Glad I’m not the only one LOL 🙂
I just love the honesty of this sweet post. We’ve all been there…
And Just Kidding on the “Bitch” comment. I love you, of course. (The guilt was killing me, so I had to say something.haha)
Silly, of course I know you are kidding and I’ve been called worse.
