Saturday morning, my beautiful daughter & I woke up & got ready to take part in the Bountiful Baskets Co-op for the first time. Kaidence really liked all of the fruits & veggies & spent some time telling me what each one was as we put them into our basket. It was super cute.
At the park where this takes place, there's a playground. One of those playgrounds that are super-cool when you're a kid... crazy twisty slides, ladders to climb, etc. Kaidence asked if she could go play & I said yes. She ran with so much excitement, as I watched her from the back of the line. A minute later, she came back... her eyes welling up with tears. She said "I'm not allowed to play". I asked her why & she told me that "those boys said I'm not allowed to play".
I swear I morphed into an angry black woman & said "Oh no they didn't" as my head bobbed from side to side & my finger snapped in the shape of a giant Z. "Nobody talks to my baby like that".
I told Kiki to go back & play & the boys could talk to her dad if they had any issues. I think they tried to call her bluff because she came back with a "Get 'm daddy" look.
I know I'm not scary, but when you're a 7 year old & a guy with a facial piercing, wearing all black comes to watch over his daughter you change your attitude real fast. So Kaidence climbs up the ladder to the slide, looks back at the boys as she slides down... Then stops half way down so the boys can't go down the slide too...
I love that kid.
