Watery Eyes and Babies

Conversation with Journey while shopping in the baby section.

Journey: “Awwwwww. My eyes are watering.”

Me: “Are you crying?”

J: “Why wouldn’t I be? These baby clothes are just soooo cute.”

Me: “Awww”

J: “You know I love babies. That’s why I’ve been begging for a baby sister or brother.”

Me: giving her the side eye and silence

J: “Now my other eye is watering, but it’s just because I have something in it.”
