Snowpoo and Maffles are pretty Melicious
Andy was looking after Delphine today.
Who said words like frugs for frogs, mucks for ducks and bankyous as thank yous around the townhouse and out, it's was too cute. With Miranda's eyes.
Her favorite word right now for chocolate was Chocwit with a smile that melted Andy.
Of course to throw Andy off her sweet tooth agenda she'd try to give Andy her apple slices saying to her. ''You eat apple and demand of Andy. ''Me Chocwit.''
Andy was Mombar, her fav which was a combination of Momma and her stuffed Barbar.
The one thing she says that just cracks Andy and Miranda up, anytime anyone sneezes, coughs, once burps Andy did or makes any loud noise, she says in the most cutest voice ever "excuse me" almost with Miranda's own facial mannerisms even to snuffling Patricia who she squealed at happily when slobbered. Andy was waiting for the La Priestly eye roll. Eventually any day now.
Zneezes was sneezes. Delphine was a big talker.
Also both Miranda and Andy weren't sure but her first words may have been. ''Hi, Roy.''
Lasagna was bazania and Spaghetti was zebeggi and Noodles was nerdles and strawberries were strawbabies. Sprinkles was Sprinklers and muffins were fuffins and Mommy rode on alligators meant elevators.
The newest word today was snowpoo for Mommy. Andy had no idea what snowpoo was.
''Are you sure Mir you want me to bring her to you for lunch. If your busy there.''
''Andy I'm looking forward to it.'' Miranda smiled into her phone, her morning was intolerable with incompetence. Her staff truly baffled her why they were paid.
''Ookay.'' Andy hung up.
To Runway we go.
Emily brought lunch in. Delphine liked waffles and only waffles. Calling them Maffles. Andy started her saying this with the twins' encouragement that and Melicious using mmm with delicious. Cassidy and Caroline had already learned what Turkey elephants were and cheese penguins. Cookie cutter shapes sandwiches Andy replicated for Del.
Wiping her face Miranda held out her sippy cup of juice to drink.
''Mommy washes with snowpoo.'' Could hear a pin drop. Nigel didn't know what to say. Miranda and poo didn't go together in any universe.
Not the Queen of fashion. A paragon of style and grace and class.
''Ah snow…poo.'' Nigel looked wide-eyed at Delphine sharing this with him and Emily.
Delphine just pointed at her regal Mommy and said. ''Snowpoo.''
Now Miranda always showers with lovely smells for her hair but not Snowpoo. Andy can vouch she often joins her.
''Snowpoo?'' Miranda looked confused with Delphine's words.
''Mommy's hair snow white. Hair white as snow.'' Andy with Miranda had been reading her that bedtime story this week.
Delphine also thought every time Elsa in Frozen came on DVD it was Miranda in cartoon form. Andy hadn't yet been compared to Belle.
Andy got it suddenly. Snowpoo. Andy uttered this. Delphine meant snowpoo…shampoo.
All present resisted laughing.
Nigel muttered to Emily leaving his Editor's office. ''Thought the dragon might breathe fire for a minute there.''
Emily whispered. ''So did I Nigel.''
'' Mommy where's your tail?'' Miranda looked at Delphine. ''My tail.'' Mir repeated slowly to her daughter.
''Coz you're a wragon.'' Andy chuckled about it for a week.
That and Miranda's hair color was from Snowpoo.
Levels of Princess Band Aid Addiction
The Priestly Sachs had reached peak level of band aid obsession in their household. Delphine was addicted and it is becoming a very expensive habit to maintain. Andy many times this week was holding princess band aids up to the light praying they are Ariel?
Or panicking in cold sweat when she'd go to replenish my princess supply and find the store only carries Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Spiderman?
No Curious George or Strawberry Shortcake or My Little Pony wouldn't do. Andy was doling out band aids ever since Mir had Emily buy them, a box of princess themed band aids, thinking she was doing Delphine their daughter a service.
Instead Delphine becomes super selective about which princesses are allowed to cover her cuts and bruises. Andy found herself with Mir holding wrapped band aids up to the light to discern whether it is the coveted Ariel band aid.
Mir successfully convinced her to wear Cinderella. Belle has been rejected so many times, and was now hiccup emergency backup. Tears started to flow from blue eyes. Not because she is in pain, but because Mir ripped back the paper and revealed *gasp* JASMINE.
Fumbling through the box for the little mermaid.
Where are the Ariels? The box lies.
Cassidy and Caroline never were like this over band aids. Your daughter by that Andy meant Miranda's with this outrageous cray cray behavior refuses to wash her hand because she doesn't want to ruin her Ariel band aid. Or take it off ever.
After several battles with her about this, Andy just accepts it. Delphine had begun to call for Andy or Miranda after bedtime claiming she is injured. Rushing in, thinking she might actually be hurt and maimed but no, Delphine is never hurt. She just wants more band aids stuck on. Obliging is the only option for sleep tonight.
Mir gives in.
By the end of week, Delphine pushed the Ice Queen's band aid related buttons one too many times at bed time. Only ugly brown ones would be bought from now on.
Calls Emily to make it final.
Delphine their precious sweet daughter discovered and became enraged in a special kind of this is not cute anymore band aid rage when she catches Miranda wearing a Snow White band aid on her thumb. "It was all we had!" waspish in her defense. Neglecting to mention that unlike her, she was actually bleeding.
"That's my second favorite!" she screams like Miranda took away all her stuffed animals. Miranda almost did.
Andy knelt pacifying telling her she will make a late night run to replenish her supply because tomorrow night at bedtime will be unbearable.
That or buy shares in only pretty band aids.
Unfortunately, Target is out of princess band aids and Andy must choose between Mickey Mouse and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Texting Mir how she was afraid to return home.
Mir called Emily. It took four pharmacies to find them.
It looks ridiculous. Delphine points to a scrape on her knee. Mir put one there too. In addition to the band aids she's already wearing, there are now five in total on their little girl.
A Cinderella band aid on her chin, a Mickey Mouse on her knee, a Snow White on her other knee, an Ariel on her finger.
Andy and Miranda both discover there are no detox centers for band aid addiction. Also there are unicorn ones and glitter ones and yikes Frozen ones of Elsa and Anna and Olaf left with The Book. Thanks a bunch Emily.
