Food Fight
Previously on My Green Eyed Baby: I had a feeling Edward planned this whole thing but when he started laughing I took him outside and gave him a spanking. That was the third time he hurt someone intentionally and I would not tolerate it anymore. After 20 minutes of crying and 30 minutes of sulking Edward cheered up. Thankfully school was over because I had study hall at the end of the day. As I loaded Edward back into the car I couldn't help but think⦠Thank God! School is over for the day!
BPOV
I drove the Volvo home extra slowly. I glanced in the rear view mirror, above Edward's crazy hair was a baby on board sign. Edward was being Edward, looking like a grumpy old man bored stiff. Hmm, maybe he's constipated. Yes, that could be the problem. I pulled into the driveway and got Edward out. He looked at everything in wonder and awe. Ah, the attention span of a baby.
I put Edward into a play pen full of educational toys and started my homework. Mr. Banner was a beast in Chemistry. I finished my homework in an hour and a half. I then turned my attention to Edward. He was playing with his foot. Babies are so flexible somehow they can stick their foot in their mouth. I got dinner started for Charlie and me and mashed up some baby food for Edward. I gave him a bottle and put him in a high chair. As I started cooking I plugged my iPod in my speakers and put my favorite song on.
Why do you build me up (Build me up)
Buttercup baby just to
let me down (Let me down)
And mess me around
And then worst of all (Worst of all)
You never call baby
When you say you will (Say you will)
But I love you still
I need you (I need you)
More than anyone darlin'
You know that I have from the start
I started moving my hips to the beat of the song as I worked. Checking on Edward every five minutes just to make sure he was doing okay.
So build me up (Build me up)
Buttercup
Don't break my heart
I'll be over at ten
You tell me time and again
But you're late
I wait around and then
I went to the door
I can't take any more
It's not you
You let me down again
Baby Baby
Try to find a little time
And I'll make you happy
I'll be home
I'll be waiting beside the phone
Waiting for you.
I began slowly dancing as the song picked up. When I turned around I saw Edward trying to dance in his high chair. It was quite a sight. I danced over to him and picked him up and began dancing with him.
Why do you build me up...
To you I'm a toy
But I could be the boy
You adore
If you'd just let me know
Although you're untrue
I'm attracted to you
All the more
Why do I need you so Baby Baby...
Ooh ooh ooh
Why do build me up...
When the song ended I placed Edward back in his high chair and continued cooking. I was almost finished when The Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga started playing.
There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
And I got a reason that you're who should take me home tonight (Tonight)
I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight
It's hard to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love
I felt that the lyrics described Edward and mine's relationship from my point of view.
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge,
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you.
Another shot before we kiss the other side
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight
(Alright! Alright!)
Put on your shades, 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
It isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight
(Alright! Alright!)
It's hard to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love
I would follow Edward to the end of the world and I know Edward would go to hell and come back for me.
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge,
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you.
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
(You, you, you...)
As the song finished Edward started banging on his little tray. I swear you would think I was deaf or something. I handed Edward a bowl of smashed peas and picked up a spoon. I tried to get Edward to open his mouth but nothing worked. He started pointing at me. I sighed, the things you do for love. I held my breath as I placed some peas in my mouth and chewed. Hey, I thought, this doesn't too badly.
"Yum, do you want some, Edward?" I asked with a smile on my face. He looked at me incredulously before opening his mouth. I placed some peas in his mouth and watched him chew. Just when I thought I was home free Edward grabbed some peas and threw them at me.
I guess he's still mad about what happened at school, I thought. I scolded him and gave him more peas. As soon as they were in his mouth his stuck his hand in his mouth and threw it at me. I wiped off the peas and tried to feed him again.
Half an hour later Charlie came home. He could hear Edward giggling in the kitchen and headed towards the destination. When he looked in the kitchen there was green stuff everywhere. As he entered he was in the face by the same green food coating the counter and the refrigerator. Two giggles were heard before a high girlish scream pierced the air.
