This past week Bal Jagat has been hounding us for documents and pictures. They were ready to go out on Friday but dad forgot to take it to work to mail it out so he asked if I would take it to the UPS office and mail it.
As I was looking in the envelope to make sure the documents and Mei Mei's pictures were in it, Mimi asked, "how come MY pictures aren't in there?" She saw the document with only mine, dad's and Mei Mei's picture that we took at the Civil Affair office in China. I explained that they only wanted our pictures and not hers. She was apparrently quite upset about it. "Well, I'm her sister!!!" huffed Mimi. The girl has a point I might add.
Mimi wanted to know what the documents were and so I explained. Then I told the child that when we get all done with the post adoption process, we are going to start in on the re-adoption for both her and Mei Mei. "You mean that you are going to abandon us again?! We are going to be adopted out again?!!!!" the girl cried.
Oh my my. I then had to reassure her that in no way we are going to give them up. "Who would want a wild child like you?" I teased her. I sure had some explaining to do.
Then it was time to head out the door. All I asked the girl to do was to take the yellow envelope with her to the car. I looked up in time to see the child putting the envelope into the mailbox outside our house. Problem was.....there was nothing written on the envelope. No address to Bal Jagat or our return address. Nada, nothing. Fortunately her little fingers was still holding onto the envelope. I am pretty sure that I gained about a 100 new gray hairs that morning.
We did make it to the UPS office after our fun filled day at the Les Gove park and Bal Jagat should be getting the papers they need by Monday morning.
Never ever a dull moment around our house and I love it that way.
