Her Own Things

Troy: “Is that thing for babies, dada?”
Me: “What?”
Troy: “That thing in the picture on that board.”
Me: “Oh, yeah.”
Troy: “What is it?”
Me: “It’s kind a chair that bounces to keep the baby entertained while he’s sitting there. It also has some lights and buttons and other things that he can push or move.”
Troy: “Can we get one of those for the new baby?”
Me: “No.”
Troy: “Why not?”
Me: “Because we already have so much stuff from when you were a baby. The baby can just use that.”
Troy: “Oh. But maybe the baby would like her own things. Something new.”
Me: “I’m sure she’ll get plenty of things from her grandparents. I imagine they’ll spoil her like they spoiled you.”
Troy: “I’m not spoiled!”
Me: “Yes, you are! You little imp.”
