A Little Girl With A Simple Request

"Hey MOM! Can I just go outside really fast and get that icicle?"

After I looked over to see what she was talking about, I told her no and it was just driving her crazy! She wanted this more than anything!

"MOM! PLEEEEAAASE!!!!

Can I...

JUST...

GET THIS?"

Sorry my dear...not this time. 

A sad little girl, with crushed dreams.

On the other hand, this mom avoided a cold child and a rather large icicle on my clean kitchen floor. 

OK... maybe not clean but I avoided a mess on my kitchen floor. (smirk)

And this mom lived happily ever after!
