Sandwiched

While Ava basques in the limelight, Charlotte prefers the alternative band cover album 'lookaway' pose.

conversations with Ava

In a moment of insanity the other day, I ventured out to run some errands despite Charlotte's obvious discontent at simply being awake. The following conversation with Ava changed the direction of the evening:

(While in line at Walgreen's waiting to buy vitamins)

Me: "Ava can you hold this for me?"
Ava; " Sure...I'm gonna pay."
Me: "You are? How are you going to pay?"
Ava: "With my credit card."
Me: "Oh really? What credit card?"
Ava: (digging in her purse) "See, credit card" (holding up my old drivers license) "Hold on one minute, my phone is ringing." (gets her phone from her purse and proceeds to wedge it between her chin and shoulder while "talking" to a friend.)
Me: "Great! You pay." "Sure, no problem...I'll wait"
*Side note-the nice man behind me who let us go first is now laughing to himself at this exchange*
(Ava now off phone)
Me: "What would you like for dinner?"
Ava: "couscous"
*Man behind us bursts out laughing and states "Where did you get her? This is the most hilarious conversation I've heard in a long time. I was expecting pizza or mac and cheese, but couscous? That was the icing on the cake!"

We were then called up to the counter where Ava slaps her "credit card" up on the counter for the lady to ring up. The pharmacy tech looks at me and I said "she's paying." *more snickers from the man behind me and a confused look from the tech*
