Pink eye and M&Ms

So after coming back from our honeymoon I spent some time at home with Kaidence. She woke up from a nap one day and her eye was all red and icky. My first thought was great she has pink eye. I called Andy and told him that we needed to take Kaidence to the Dr. He tried to convince me that it was her allergies and that he would bring home some medicine on his lunch break. Well by the time he got home for lunch my eye was starting to hurt and turn red. Needless to say I was right and he was wrong!!! Yes we keep score =) So we took the prescription to CVS where we had a 20 minute wait. Not a huge deal other than Kiki was pretty sure she needed everything in the store. After finally agreeing on a candy cane filled with M&Ms we left the store. Now normally I drive because my husband is a horrible driver but this night I was pretty tired and my eye was still hurting pretty bad, so with Andy behind the wheel we were off. After driving for a second I looked at Andy and ask if he knew where we were going. He said very confidently that he did even though I had already pointed out that we were heading west. Once again...I was right and he was wrong!! ( that's 2 in one night!) He tried to continue this stupid charade for a few more minutes already knowing that he was wrong since we were driving towards the city lights. BTW that part of the story has nothing to do with pink eye and m&ms I just like to point out the score! Finally we made it home. I am the biggest sucker when my daughter bats those big blue eyes at me. It took only a sad pout face and a reminder that she had pink eye to convince me that she should have string cheese and m&ms for dinner. After a few minutes of enjoying her well balanced meal I looked over only to discover that Kaidence no longer had pink eye...instead it was blue. And so ends another wonderful night in the Alvarado household.
