Best Buddies

Unlike her older sisters, Claire has a thing for soda. While it is strictly milk or juice at mealtimes, but she will try to steal a swig from an open can when she spots one.

As she cannot open a soda can with her three-year-old fingers, she will occasionally fetch a can from the fridge spontaneously and offer it to me to drink. Then, after I’ve opened the can, she’ll query “Share soda?”

This evening she spotted an open can on the kitchen counter. Chris had left a half-full soda can out.

While she downed what remained of the Sparkling Black Cherry Citrus Fresca, I remarked, “Claire, you’re my drinking buddy.”

She responded with “You my burpin’ buddy.”
