HAPPY WALENTINES DAY EVERYONE! THIS IS YOUR PRESENT, NOW I HAVE A QUESTION THAT YOU PEOPLES WILL ANSWER, NOT RIGHT AWAY BUT THINK ABOUT IT AS YOU READ.
THE QUESTION IS: SHOULD WE DO A BENSON FAMILY VALENTINES DAY STORY?
JUST SAY YES OR NO IN YOUR REVEIWS, THANK YOU PEOPLE!!!
"Sam, what are you doing" I asked after she put a strange look on her face and hung up the phone
"oh nothing, you mom is just gonna bring Taylor over some lunch since she doesn't want to eat what I cook"
"Sam, what is she bringing over"
"just those cucumber cups and some of her weird sugar blah yadda salad" Sam said going on about something that she had no idea what it was called, I knew it was the mixed, and steamed sugar free vegetable salad, I shuddered at the thought
"Sam, why" I asked her
"well maybe then she will learn to eat her food"
"can't you just call Carly and tell her not to come over, it would be less of a horrible punishment for her"
"yes I was gonna do that, but then I thought whenever I did that before she never learned anything and would do it again, so now if she has to eat something, and sit in time out, then maybe she'll get it through her thick skull that's she's not aloud to do that, hey at least we know she gets something from you" Sam said and looked at me with the grin that she would always use when she was insulting me, which she still does, or if she has thought of ham, or something brilliant
"and what would that be"
"her stubbornness"
"Sam, she doesn't get it all from me, she is just as stubborn as you are, and she brown eyes, and can be smart"
"most of the time, but she has my hair, my love of food, my appetite, and my evil independent working mind"
"when did you learn to list things" I asked Sam shocked
"probably when I married you and now have to spend every day with you, going over stuff that needs to be done"
The doorbell rang and Sam grinned and walked out to get the door, I followed her and as I walked by the corner taylor asked "daddy can I come out now"
"I don't know, you will have to asked your mom"
"ok daddy, MOMMY CAN I COME OUT NOW, PLEASE, I PROMISE I WILL BE A GOOD GIRL"
"yes taylor, nana brought you some lunch, now why don't you go sit in your chair"
"ok mommy" taylor got up and skipped into the kitchen,
"nana, what's for lunch" Taylor asked as soon as she got in her chair
"cucumber cups, and sugar free steamed vegetable salad" taylor put on a disgusted face as nana put a plate down in front of her
"ew nana, that's icky, I want ice cream" she said pushing the plate away
"but you daddy loved to eat this"
"daddy this is gross, I don't like it, can I have ice cream"
"no taylor, that's to bad, you didn't even eat it, now that's your lunch, and you will sit there until it's gone" Sam said before I could say anything, she gave me savanna and told me to put her in her walker and leaned against the doorway in the kitchen facing taylor, then taylor decided to push the plate near the edge of he table
"taylor, if that plate goes on the floor, you will sit in time out for the rest of the night, and I'll tell aunt Carly and Alex that taylor was being bad and is not aloud to leave the house and they don't need to come over for two weeks" if it were possible Sam's ears would have smoke coming out of them and she would be breathing fire. When Sam said that, taylor pulled the plate away from the edge but pushed it away some crossed her arms and leaned on the table. My Mom got up and walked over to me and said "I'm gonna head home, but if there are any more problems like you just need the girls off your hands for a while just call me okay"
"yeah, thanks mom" she quietly said goodbye to Sam and left before any child could throw a fit
"mommy, do I have to eat this" taylor asked
"yes, like I said, you will sit there until it's gone, next time, you'll eat when I tell you," Sam left the kitchen, probably to do more laundry, which was still piling up. I grabbed the dishes from the table and filled the sink with water, as the sink filled I took a rag and scrubbed food from the floor.
Taylor still sat at the table arms crossed and her head resting on her arms about ten minutes later when I finished washing the dishes, as I started to dry then I heard a frustrated groan and a loud thud. Sam then walked in grabbed the towel out of my hands, sat on the counter and started to dry the dishes
"what's the mater Sammy" I asked taking the towel back
"I hate matching socks, I can never find a match to one" she took the towel back and handed me the dish she dried
"so what was the thud"
"I threw the basket and it hit the wall"
"did it break anything" I asked getting another towel from the cabinet
"no, but it did knock over my piles of folded laundry, now it's all a jumbled mess of shirts ad pants and socks" Sam complained
"aww, I sorry, would you like me to help you fold the clothes, again" I asked, she nodded as I was about to walk out of the kitchen Sam said "Freddie wait would you do something for me"
"what is it Sam"
"will you give me a piggyback ride into the living room"
"why would I do that"
"don't you remember before when we were like 15 I got tired and made you carry me on your back home from school"
"as in home, I think you mean Carly's house, and yes everyday from then on for like3 3 years you made me carry you like ten blocks to Carly's apartment, then you had me carry you up the stairs, then when we got married, you had me still carry you to Carly's house"
"I know it's such a long walk, you should start carrying me again"
"Sam, it's like 3 blocks and also I can't carry you all the time"
"why' she interrupted me
"gee, I don't know, maybe it's because there are two small children running around"
"right, anyway, look taylor is sitting at the table and savanna is out playing in her walker"
"Sam, Taylor's is asleep"
"okay then, as long as she sits there until the food is gone, now carry me please" she put on the puppy dog face again
"okay Sam" I walked over and she climbed on my back.
We, well more I waked out to the living room, set Sam on the floor, pushed the laundry over to where she was sitting, sat down and started folding the laundry with her.
