After this mornings very....difficult start auggie and I decided to go get a late breakfast/early lunch and then do a little shopping. Since it's Saturday the flea market is open so we'll be going there first.

After my longer than usual shower I carefully cross the hall into my room. Not sure why I decided to shower in auggie's room but it's too late to regret that decision.

Because it's summer now and we'll be walking around a lot today I decide to grab a semi short, pastel yellow skirt with flowers littered on it, a white button down crop top, and my simple white sandals.

After sliding in my feet into my sandals, I quickly pad over to auggie's room where he is dressed in joggers and a black t shirt. "You know it's like seventy out there, right?" He glances up at me. "I'm aware."

I clamp my mouth shut while nodding. Okay then. I decide against arguing his outfit choices again and instead simply head downstairs. Auggie very rarely wears shorts out of the house and if he does I can't comment on them or he'll change.

He doesn't like the idea of people seeing his legs. I'm not sure why but I'd have better luck getting chili and Gerald to talk.

"Auggie!" I feel a hand on my shoulder and jump. "I have been right behind you for three minutes now. No need to yell." I whip around with a flushed face. "Sorry."

He shakes his head in a don't worry about it manner. "Um....anyway. Does chili look chonkier to you?" He gives me a skeptical look and doesn't say anything.

I look at him expectedly and he licks his lips before slowly saying, "Chunkier than....usual?" I lightly slap his shoulder. "You are so mean to them! They aren't fat." His skeptical look doesn't leave as he glances at the tank.

"Uh sure. Yea, he looks bigger than usual." I nod my head. "Right? I don't feed them that much so I know he's not over eating. And even if I did feed them too much Gerald would be getting bigger too, right?" He stares at me.
