Got Sympathy?

Babty Mochi’s been lugging around her Playskool Busy Ball Popper trying futilely to get G to change its batteries.  Exasperated, she left it in the middle of the living room floor.  Last night I discovered that it’s got an extremely heavy base and literally had to hold my breath so i wouldn’t cuss out loud after kicking it Very Hard.  I was lying perfectly still on the ground with my eyes shut until the pain went away and my girls stood at my head looking down at me and Big Mochi asks, “What happened?”  and Baby Mochi answered, “Mommy’s batteries died.”

Sister for sale

I’m told the story went like this:

  • Big Mochi: *sigh* I wish I had blonde curly hair, beautiful blue eyes and pink skin.
  • Princess S: Well I wish I had brown skin, dark eyes and shiny straight black hair.
  • Big Mochi: Do you want my sister?  She has all that!
