In Denial

The other day, I picked Little M up from school. Her school is really close to WalMart, so after picking her up, we stopped at WalMart to get a few things. One of the things was gum. I am one of those people that prefers minty gum. Little M prefers fruity or bubble gum. We compromised... Bubble Mint. :)

Well, on the way home, we are both chewing our new gum, and I was talking to her about what we were going to do that evening. I'm talking and talking, and she's smacking and smacking on her gum. The smacking stopped, but I just kept talking. I asked her something, and she didn't answer. I said "Hello? Are you there?" She didn't say anything. I turned around, and Little M was fast asleep. I quickly added "What!?! You're asleep? I'm talking to nobody!" And she quickly woke up, continued smacking her gum, and talking to me. Next thing I know, though, the smacking stops. We pull in the driveway and this is what I find:

AGAIN!
