You're Not Like the Others

Ch.4

I woke up to someone poking my arm and calling me

"Mommy?"

I sat up and saw Abby awake

"Morning sweetie, how'd you sleep?"

"Fine"

she then looked down at the teddy bear with the hot pink ribbon around its neck

"Zak came by lastnight and gave it to you" I said smiling

just then I heard a knock on the door, me and Abby looked at the door

"Hi daddy" I said

"Yay grapa Mark"

"How is my little sprinkles?"

I just chuckled as I remembered how she got that nickname.

2yrs. Ago

We went to grandpa Mark's house to sleep over, since he lives 6 hours away from Vegas and I wasn't going to drive back to Vegas and arrive at 3 in the morning and disturb Abby's sleep trying to get her inside. We were all on the couch watching TV when my dad said

"Abby, I think it's time for you to take your first bite of ice cream"

"Dad, she's 1, it's not recommended for a 1 year old to eat ice cream"

"Why? It'll melt so she's not going to choke on it" he said picking Abby up and headed to the kitchen

"Fine, she can have some but NO sprinkles"

"Yeah, Yeah"

"Dad I mean it"

"I heard you sweetheart"

he then vanished into the kitchen with Abby

Why do I bother telling him no? He's just going to do it anyway I thought

I then got up and headed to the kitchen. Once I got in there I saw Abby on his right hip and he extended his left hand to the cabinet

"HA! I caught you red handed"

He then turned around smiled with the sprinkle bottle in his hand

"I told you she can't have any, she barely has teeth"

"Well, she's got to use the teeth she has for something"

"Dad, watch..." I said and then hung my head

Abby got the sprinkle bottle and popped it open somehow and dumped all of the sprinkles on the floor

"Out" I finished and then looked at him

he just started laughing

"See she wanted sprinkles, didn't you...sprinkles" he said hugging her and she laughed

Present

"Fine grapa" she said

he then looked over at me with concern

"And how's my baby girl?"

"I'll be better once all of this is taken care of" I said sighing

"Mommy?"

"Hmmm?"

"I'm hungry"

"What do you want to eat?"

then we heard someone screech

"OH MY... IT'S THE G.A.C GUYS"

my dad looked at me confused and I looked at him confused and shrugged
