parched

The afternoon took an unexpected turn that resulted in a five-minute errand becoming a two hour errand. We spent most of the time waiting at a playground and Barnes & Noble. I needed a vocabulary book for Audrey, and thought it would be fun for the girls to pick out some reading material for Spring Break.

I was helping the girls assess their options when I turned around and saw Audrey standing next to an overflowing trash can, and happily sucking down the last of a Starbucks vanilla chai. She seemed unfazed when I took it away and scolded her a little. She apparently only had one thing on her mind, because not two minutes later a child's nanny pointed to Audrey and asked if we happened to have a sippy cup of water identical to theirs.

Bless her thirsty, little heart.
