Tonight Claire got a package from Mimi with a rolling backpack. Claire was dragging it around the house and outside and then told me that she would take it with her on the plane. I told her sure, that was ok, but that it would be a while before we go on a plane. Then I told her that she could take her new bag to Los Angeles when we go to see Sarah next month.
She started packing her toys in the backpack and said that she was ready to go. I told her no, no, we will go to LA in a month – 32 days. Claire: "ok, maybe tomorrow after my nap." Me: "No, no Claire. Maybe after 30 naps."
Claire: "Why?"
Me: "Because we have to work tomorrow"
Claire: "I don’t like working."
Me: "Me neither, Claire. Me neither."
