I missed her little face over the weekend, what with my friend CJ constantly lamenting how she missed her kids while at #SDCC. So I went and stole her Monday afternoon. We decided to go see Despicable Me on Tuesday morning before I gave her back.

Cute story: We stopped for gas and drinks before the movie and Kira picked out a bottled juice drink. We were quietly standing in line to pay when she says, “Grammi, this is gonna make me kuh-razy!” She’s pointing at the bug-eyed creature on the label of her drink.  “Kuh-raaaaaa-zy!” and a little butt wiggle.

I loved Despicable Me. Of course I laughed at inappropriate times, like when Gru pops some kid’s balloon and at the black smoke coming out of every one of his vehicles. I got a couple of dark looks from the other adults in the theater. I guess mine IS an evil laugh.

Then just as the movie climax was coming Kira decides she can’t wait (literally) seven frikking minutes to go to the bathroom, so I missed how they get the moon back into space.

I want a minion. Seriously.

After the movie (and some Cox business I’ll bitch about later) we wandered down to the splash pad and I let her get soaked in her clothes. I hadn’t thought that far ahead and brought a change or a towel. Oh well.

Fun day. Great kid.
