On Sunday evening, Ava was in her bed for the night and Nate was away at a softball game. The house was quiet and still. A nice, long soak seemed to be the perfect way to end a delightful Mother’s Day.
I let the water roar out of the faucet drowning out the sounds of the house and filling the tub with steamy water. I poured in the last of my Lollia bubble bath, a Mother’s Day gift from another year, and watched tub rise with rose-scented bubbles.
I was about to slip into my favorite escape when I heard the bathroom door squeak open behind me. My heart raced into my throat and I let out a scream as I turned to meet my foe.
Ava hopped in from the doorway, slammed it shut with her back, and and looked up with a trembling lip, “Was it a badger, Mama? Did you see a badger?”
That is HILARIOUS! Leave it to sweet little Ava!
After that scare, I bet you REALLY needed that soak!
Funny!
hahahahahaha- she is So funny. i bet she has you laughing ALL day!
To which you replied: YES! It was a badger. Go find him! Now! Mama will help you as soon as she gets out of the bath.
Was it??
That Ava…I love her imagination! So cute!
obviously! there’s nothing more frightening than badger. i mean, the vulnerability one might feel as they are about to dip their toes in the tub can’t compare to the idea of a badger on the loose!!!
those badgers cause so many problems, I love it !
those crazy badgers! glad it was only ava!
i hope you enjoyed your bath! that sounds marvelous!
Those dirty badgers were probably equally afraid you would make them take a bath and they’d come out smelling like roses. Good thing Ava’s got your back.
