We were in Breese on Wednesday so I could get my hair cut. Before we left Grandma's house, Aunt Barb stopped by. Barb, for those of you who don't know, has two cats named Midnight and Tiger.

Katherine loves the cats and asks to see them whenever she sees Barb. Unfortunately, this time, we had to tell her no, as we would be back in Breese on Friday for Alex's birthday. She would be able to see them then.

Grandma then packed a little baggie of marshmallows for Katherine to take for our trip home. We weren't but half a mile out of Breese when I asked Katherine "Baby, aren't you going to eat your marshmallows?"

She replied, "No, I don't feel good."
I asked, "You're sick? What doesn't feel good?"
She stated, "I'm just so sad."
And so continues the conversation:

M: Sad?
K: Yes, I really wanted to go to Barb's house.
M: Is that why you feel sick? Because you're so sad?
K: Yes, I'm so sad so I feel sick. I don't want to eat my marshmallows.
M: Oh sweetie, we will see the cats on Friday when we go to Alex's birthday party.
K: Oh. I will have to be sad until Friday.

(and then Sarah chimed in "I want marshmallows!" after she realized they weren't being eaten)

TOO cute! She was truly upset! Had a very sad face, teary eyes...she REALLY wanted to see those cats at Barb's house!

Fortunately, Barb let the cats out while we were there on Friday for the birthday party, and Katherine was very pleased.

She sure does wear her heart on her sleeve sometimes!
