Good taste
When I picked Annada up from school, she asked to go out to lunch with me. We ran errands and I let her keep an eye out for where she wanted to go.
“There, there, Mommy!” she called out after we passed by many options. So here we are, at an authentic Peruvian resturant eating some kind of roasted seed. 🙂
Afterward I discovered there is a large, bright yellow jumping spider living in our car. When it jumps, it leaves behind a string of web, so there is no pretending it is gone.
I tried to kill it and a random man saw me. He started insisting it was “a danger for the baby (Annada)” over and over and rummaging through my car looking for it. Annada started yelling, “Don’t kill it Mama! It is a nice spider – it doesn’t have spikes. It is playing hide n go seek with me!”
All as this spider is jumping around and I am getting soaked by rain. Then in the middle of the yelling, the guy started trying to sell me perfume and watches out of his truck and his wife started yelling. It was so bizarre I wanted to laugh and yell for help at the same time!
