When She's Good, I Seem Crazy

I realize that in this instance it's better to be crazy than to be right, but COME ON MILA. Mila, she of much curiosity, will choose to make a situation more complicated than necessary 99.9% of the time.

It's a fact.

It's a fact that I'm so confident in that I'm willing to bet my time on it. Alas, I had a plan and I fully intended to use Mila to help me play it out. Alexis had an event at school. It was one of those looooooong and only fun if you're a kid participating events. It required that onlookers sit around and wait for a long time.

So I took Mila with me.

That seems like a special brand of bad choice, but it is not. Mila is AWESOME and she entertains me at boring events. When she's busy making situations complicated, I'm busy chasing her around and doing what I can to tame her. That's way more fun than just sitting around with nothing to do except twitch because fifth graders are loud. Basically, Mila has a history of providing me with an excuse to do anything other than sit around and wait for Alexis. It's magical.

So we sat down at this event and started the very long wait. Somehow Mila managed to con her way into holding my phone and one thing led to another. Suddenly, she was happily playing a dumb game where she brushes a cat's teeth and punches it in the face.

And she played.

Quietly. Peacefully. Calmly. I'm not supposed to be able to use those three words to describe Mila, you guys. She has a reputation to maintain and SHE FAILED. Instead of acting a fool, the kid was an angel.

Of all the times for her to prove me wrong by behaving. I had to sit and watch the entire event because Mila was so well-behaved.

Ugh.
