Best Not Leave This One To Chance

(I am four years old. My mom just got back from her first trip without me, and my dad and I go to the airport to meet her and her friends.)

Me: *to first friend* “Are you my mommy?”

Friend #1: “No, I’m not.”

Me: *to second friend* “Are you my mommy?

Friend #2: “No, that’s your mom.”

(I turn to my mom.)

Me: “…Who ARE you?”

(Seeing as she was only gone a week, my parents are naturally a bit concerned that I may have short term memory issues, especially since I was slow to develop mentally and hadn’t been talking for very long. Then, when we get in the car, I turn to my mom.)

Me: *angrily* “Don’t EVER leave me again!”

(They both stared at me in shock as I huffed and turned away. My mother says it was the most sarcastic temper tantrum she’d ever seen a four-year-old have.)
