Bob took Anthony with him on Saturday to buy me grocery store flowers for Valentine's. (That's all I wanted, and I said no to roses.)When they got home, Anthony was very excited to walk in with the balloon he got for "me". Anthony has been admiring the red balloons at Safeway for quite some time and Daddy is a sucker.
When we go to the grocery, here's how the conversation works:
Anthony (pointing at balloon), "Guh, guh"
Mommy, "Balloon"
Anthony (escalating emphasis), "Guh, guh"
Mommy, "Not for Anthony"
Anthony (voice getting increasingly frantic and gesturing madly), "Guh, guh"
Mommy, "Balloon, not for Anthony"
Repeat as needed until we clear checkout
Fortunately there have been no tantrums over balloons. Yet.
