Popcorn Please

Guinevere decided she wanted to go for a walk. (Full disclosure, I’m pretty sure the majority of blog posts are going to be based on walks, I’m figuring out that’s basically all we do) Anyway, she asks for walk wheelchair, so sure why not, right? It’s only 102 outside at 2pm, Daddy is in!

Get a couple streets over and I see a bunch of sprinklers that are just soaking the sidewalk, figure Guinnie loves sprinklers let’s just go for it. Completely glossing over the fact that she has a half eaten bag of popcorn in her lap at this point, first misstep. We get about 3 steps through the torrent of water drenching us when she launches her popcorn onto this neighbors lawn.

We get through the sprinklers and I stop, turn around and assess the situation we’re now facing. This bag of popcorn is a good 3-4 man leaps from the sidewalk so i tell Guinnie to “Hang tight” and Daddy’ll be right back.

I head over to the grass and taking twinkle steps (that’s what I call the step where you only put your toes down but you kinda hop so your shoes don’t get soaked, you know what I’m talkin’ about) I hop up into their yard, grab the bag of now soaked popped corn and make my way back to Guinnie.

Looking like an unwilling participant in a wet T shirt contest I make my way back to Guinnie. The adorable little thing is smiling so big, laughing hysterically and clapping for me. (which for Guinnie is a HUGE thing) As I get back to the chair she looks up at me with those big green eyes and says two words that absolutely slay me…

Popcorn Please

May your life never be boring and your popcorn always be fresh
