This kid should be in movies…

My daughter has these plastic bins that are supposed to sit on a shelf in her room and hold all her toys. But she insists on dragging them out into the living room and dumping them in the middle of the floor. Fun times.

Sometimes she’ll sit in one of them while she plays. (I know, she’s strange.) Today she asked me to sit in one of the bins next to her. Not my best moment, explaining to a two-year-old why Mommy was too big to fit.

She keeps insisting that I join her. “Mommy, sit here. Next to me. Mommy. Mommy. Mommy! Please!”

I finally give in and put myself in the bin, although I feel it stretching to accommodate my booty. “See, I told you it’s too small.”

She believes me and gives me another bin to sit in. ”Sit here,” she says.

I sit in it, even though I know I’m too big once again. As soon as I plop my butt down I hear a crack. I look down and it seems Mommy has cracked the corner of her bin.

My daughter looks at me and shakes her head. “I can’t have nothing.”
