We’re still not-watching Thor, and the family from yesterday has a 3-year-old who is even more bored than we are. This little one has discovered they can jump on the couch, and it’s fun. They discovered this because Jilly showed them, the fool.
Toddler: Toddling
Lexi: They probably shouldn’t jump on the couch alone like that…
Me: I got it, I got it.
So I go over to Toddler and I take their hands, and I help them jump higher without falling.
Us: Wee! Wee!
Jilly: Oh, look! Matt can make you jump really high!
Toddler: 😊🙂😐😕🙁😭
Me: Wait
Me: No
Toddler runs back to their parents, crying.
Me: But but but but but but
Me: But
Jilly: I think that was too high.
Me: But
Toddler: [Something in Russian]
Ukrainian Dad: It’s okay! They say it’s okay.
Toddler: 😭
Me: …Did they really say that or are you just trying to make me feel better?
Lexi: What do you think?
Me: 😭
