Exciting Games

Tonight we went to Costco. Ah, Costco. Where aisles and aisles of books and dvds turn into awesome hiding places for 3 and 5-year-olds. Where sample cups get shoved into purses. Where you can eat dinner for $1.50 per person. I love you, Costco.

So anyway, we were at Costco. Danny was checking out (we got some sweet office furniture like a desk and a bookshelf along with other necessities like a Nintendo DS game, a book, and a shirt) so I took the 3 small ones over to the food court. We got our usual: cheese pizza for me and Jamie and a hot dog for Maria. As we're going to sit down, we spot Alison, Lauren and J.J....3 of our little friends (they are 6, 4, and 2). We go and sit down next to them. JJ has to use the bathroom so while her mama is taking her, we got to sit with the big girls.

Maria: "What did you guys do today? What did you play?"

Alison: "We played the pick up game. We played outside. We went to our friends house and we played with their tiny kitten. It's this big (she stretched her hands out -- she was lying, it wasn't a tiny kitten, but I guess that's not the point)."

Maria: "Oh. So did you guys play anything exciting at all?"

Because apparently picking up, playing outside, and playing with kittens is way too boring for my girl. . . . .she was just jealous.
