Stop Wind, Stop!

Allie is NOT a fan of the wind. She positively hates it. Her hate for the wind especially comes out at school. The school sits up on a small hill with no trees around to help block it. We park in the parking lot every morning or afternoon depending on my schedule. (I am a teacher at the girls school.) Allie reminds me everyday when we pull in the parking lot that she doesn’t like the wind. Well this particular morning, she was a bit full of herself. Here is our conversation:

 

Allie - “Mommy, I no like the wind.”

Mommy - “I know baby. I’m sorry”

Allie - “Mommy, can you stop the wind?”

Mommy - “No baby, I can’t. it won’t listen to me.”

Allie - “It will listen to me!”

*Allie then stands with her legs spread and arms up, just like Charlton Heston in the Ten Commandments during the parting of the Red Sea.*

Allie - “Stop, wind! Stop!”

“Stop, wind! Stop! Mommy! Its not stopping!”

Mommy - “I’m sorry baby. The wind has a mind of it own.”

Allie - “I try again!”

“Stop wind! I say stop!”

Sadly, the wind did not stop blowing. Allie still hates it but I got a good laugh that morning!
