This was our final day in the Big Apple. I'll provide more details as to our trip and all its adventures when we get home. It's been a ride. Today, Sophia seemed intent on embarrassing us with her witty, albeit inappropriate, comments.
First thing this morning, we walked by a gentleman doing something we have discovered is not altogether uncommon in New York on trash day - he was rummaging through the trash. The only difference was that he happened to be without a shirt. In her loudest voice, Sophia commented, "She's naked!" It didn't help to explain that he had on pants. "She's naked, Mommy!"
Just a few blocks down the road, we saw a man who couldn't have been over 60 getting out of a service truck and crossing the road. For some reason, Sophia felt the need to point and yell, "Daddy, look at that old man!" Again, ignoring her only made her think we couldn't hear her. So she simply tried me, "Mommy, see that old man?" Again, it didn't help to explain that he wasn't old.
Finally, in the men's restroom this evening, Erick was changing her diaper at the changing table when she covered her eyes, then popped up and said, "Peek-a-boo, Guys!" Seriously. I couldn't and wouldn't make this stuff up.
It has definitely been an adventure.

ReplyDeletewow Laurie, your use of "albeit" was perfect. You managed to use this in a very natural and unpretenious way. Who ever said that "albeit" was not for the everyday written word? I liked it. I've also enjoyed the Sophia highlights from NYC.
ReplyDeleteYeah- New York had no idea what it was in for when Sophia came to town. The 3rd story was the best in my opinion.
