e (horrified): “ But I can’t…”
M: “Mommy would like you to finish your dessert, please eat your worm.”
e: (bursts into tears)
M: “That’s quite enough of that…”
e (sobbing): “But I can’t eat him! He’s too cute! He’s just too cuuuuute!”
M: (attempting to her stifle rising laughter) “He’s very cute, yes, but he is also food, and we can’t keep him as a pet or a friend, he’s sticky food that was made to be eaten.”
e: (buries face in hands sobbing)
M (laughing): “Eva…”
e (through sobs): “He’s just tooooo cuuuute and I want to keep him.”
M: “Eva, please regain your self control and listen… how about we take a picture of him for you to save forever.”
e (sniffling): “Okay. But I will still miss him.”
She had me print her this photo so she could 'make sure this picture was never lost.' Great.
The "Lets take a picture of it" happens a lot here. Good job mommy!!
