Clara has woken up every morning these last couple of days and asked how many more days until "Abbie" comes out. I apparently disappoint her every time when I give her the answer. "You said it was 2 days."
"Nope, honey. It's 2 weeks."
"But you said it was 2 days!"
"I am sorry, but it it 2 weeks. Let's count on the calendar . . . 13 days, see?"
"That's not 2 days, mom."
And so the conversation goes on until I can distract her with something else. Trust me child, if there was a way that I could have this huge (whatever is bigger than a watermelon) thing in 2 days, I would do it.
But until then, it is still 13 days.
