It’s been a busy week entertaining my Aunt Sue who’s visiting from Canada. We’ve had a great time taking her all around Denver, including a dining experience like no other at the four-star restaurant where Jamie and I got engaged. Haddie and I also took her to our favorite spot downtown for a “Power Lunch” with Jamie yesterday.
We ordered some gourmet salads and to compensate for our healthy choice (that undoubtedly would’ve shocked our sugar-laced bodies to the core), we also gorged ourselves on a cream-cheese brownie and a miniature coconut bundt cake. Like a typical toddler, Hadley was obsessed with devouring dessert first and desperately begged, “Cake, cake!!” when it was delivered prior to our salads.
Trying to instill polite etiquette into my little Hurricane, I tore off a piece for her and coyly asked, “Now, Haddie. What do you say?”
She looked at me, pointed to the table in front of her and emphatically stated, “RIGHT HERE!”
It’s always alarming when I am reminded that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
