Lauren Made A Little Boy Cry Today

Today after Lauren and I dropped Natalie off at preschool, late again (which seemed to be the theme of the week), we stopped in the hallway to jump on the elevator. We pushed the button and waited. A little boy and his mother walked up behind us. Just as they did, Lauren started this conversation:

Lauren- "Mom, we're getting in the oven."

Me- "The oven?"

Lauren- "The oven." (as she pointed to the elevator)

Me- "Oh ok. That kinda looks like an oven I guess."

Little Boy (obviously freaked out)- "MOM! I don't want to get in an oven!"

Lauren to Little Boy- "We're getting in the oven! Stop crying!"

The little boy started bawling and his mother took him up the stairs.

I had never seen that little boy or his mother before. I'm sure we made a great impression.
