I Might Need To Lock Her In The Basement Soon
When I told her who would be joining us at Shrek the Musical, Alexis immediately replied, "You mean the boy who ate all of my Goldfish?"
Yes. Yes, that's the boy. She shared her bag of Goldfish crackers with him nearly two years ago during the March of Dimes Walk for Babies. Apparently, she thought he ate more than his fair share of those crackers and plans to never, ever forgive him. Please note: she remembered that moment despite not having seen him at all since that day. And here I thought I was good at holding grudges . . .
Fortunately, Alexis decided to stick her grudge in her pocket before we joined Firemom and her oldest son for dinner before the show. There was a reasonable amount of 5-year old drama all through the meal, but the overwhelming theme of the evening was two kids who would be the bestest of friends, if only 100+ miles didn't separate their homes.
There was giggling.
There was hand holding.
There was more giggling.
Did I mention the giggling?
Basically, the two of them had a great time hanging out together.
So it came as no surprise that when I asked Alexis to tell me her favorite parts of Shrek and our evening out, there were more than a few mentions of Big Brother. She mentioned that she had fun sitting with him. She mentioned that they both laughed at the same parts of the show. She mentioned that they both got Shrek ears.
And then she mentioned that he had said, "I love you, Alexis!"
I told her to never trust a man who steals your Goldfish crackers.
Sometimes grudges come in handy. For me.

LOL.
Funniest part? We brought Alexis new Goldfish crackers. But we left them in the car. A fact about which BB is QUITE upset. Simply put, we have to get back together soon. End of discussion. I have Goldfish crackers in my car.
Also, MY GOSH, how little is LB in that photo? In fact, how little are they all? And how old are the two in the last picture? I feel kind of sad now.
And finally, I'm not sure they could be the best of friends. They're an AWFUL lot alike. Like whoa!
Too funny! Wow, who would guess that as parents, we have to start locking them away so young?
LOL!! Definitely need to start locking her away...I don't think that the goldfish argument is going to work for much longer.
Sounds like it was a great time - and everyone's reviews of it are glowing. Glad you got to go, and to hang out with not-often-seen friends while doing it!
And never trust a man who steals your goldfish crackers. Ever. ;-)
Awwww! Love at first Goldfish Crackers. :)
They are pretty cute together. And wouldn't that be a cute story at their wedding? "How did we meet? Well... he stole my goldfish..." ;P
As a soon to be Dad of gilrs I'm starting to think like you. Grudges might awesome things in my world.
