CHAPTER 10 - CHEER UP
CHAPTER 10 - CHEER UP
I am awfully upset. Daddy forced me to pee in my diapers last night. I woke up fifteen minutes ago but I
haven't made a sound since. I am just lying down, eyes closed. I don't want to look at daddy. I don't
want him to hold me. I just want to be alone. I am glad for the stuffy near me. I snuggle onto my baby
elephant. Should I give him a name? I try to come up with a name but can't seem to find the perfect
one. Ellie? Pants? Ewe. No. Fatty? No, that'd possible hurt his feelings. I am just so sad that I cannot
come up with a good name also!
Daddy opens the door and I quickly close my eyes and sink under the covers.
"Ana, baby, if you want daddy to believe that you are really asleep, don't squeeze your eyes that hard
and not definitely don't pout." Daddy chuckles and picks me up in his arms.
I open my eyes and rub them. They hurt from being squeezed shut so hard.
"Uh.... Huh.... Don't rub your eyes baby." he gently removes my hands from my eyes.
I just pout.
"Sleep well?" He asks me carrying me downstairs. I look back at the elephant wanting to take it along
with me.
"What do you want for breakfast hon?"
"not hungry" I mutter.
"Since I was such a meanie last night, how about you have ice creams for breakfast and daddy
doesn't? Seems like a good punishment? Huh?" he asks me placing me on the high chair.
Ice creams for breakfast? I look at him incredulously. Is he joking? No, definitely looks serious.
He brings in a big scoop of chocolate ice cream and I smile despite myself.
"That's my Ana."
He starts feeding me little bites.
"Biggg bittee daddy!" I squeal.
"I don't want you to have a brain freeze sweetie." He smiles at me.
Oh my God. This is heaven. I have never before had ice creams for breakfast!
Daddy's phone rings.
"Hello?" he talks and continues to feed me.
"Yes, I know. I met her yesterday. She was super excited."
Who? I wonder.
"Man.... I don't know. How about I ask Ana and leave you a message?"
I look up to him at the mention of my name.
"No. Not today. I am not taking her today. Jay, give it a rest."
"Bye."
Daddy hangs up.
"Hey! Ana, my ice cream monster! That looks so tempting! Can daddy have a bite?" he asks me.
I take the spoon from his hands and try to feed him.
"My punishment? You forgot?" he asks, not eating the ice cream yet.
"No one punishes my daddy." I say and surprise myself by kissing his cheek.
He looks at me.... Like.... I don't know how! He is surprised. So am I.
I eat the ice cream. Daddy still feels extremely bad about last night and doesn't eat the ice cream
despite it being his favourite food ever.
He takes me for a bath. I don't want to bath but I don't fuss. I have had a good morning so far and I am
not keen on spoiling it.
