At the yard sale mentioned in the previous post, not everything went smoothly or without incident. Lucy fell and chipped a front tooth, Daisy stubbed her toe and required a band-aid, and a little girl bought a stuffed penguin that, it turned out, was Anna's favorite.
Oh, brother.
After the girl left, Anna erupted into tears and ran into the house. When I found her and she told me, I felt terrible. Then she said,
"You sold it and you broke my heart."
I could have crawled under a rock. Worse, it went for a quarter. I sold my child's favorite toy for a quarter.
I'm still hoping that maybe Buzz and the other toys will find Penguino and bring him back.
"Sketch, draw that girl in a chicken suit."

I hate to tell you, Honey, but Anna will remind you of this for the rest of your life. Even after she is willing to admit that she didn't really love Penguino THAT much. From one Mommie Dearest to another. xoxo
I think Mom's comment is as funny/funnier than the original post.
Sorry Anna. Next time speak up. -From another (not so sympathetic and obviously related) mother
Oh my gosh that is so funny! Sad, but so funny! Your blog is so fun to read! I love it!
