A Carlysle Funny

This really made me giggle but it may be one of those stories that you have to be there for.....

Joey plays tennis on Thursdays nights and Carlysle and I usually go to the matches. The other wives also bring their children and the kiddos run around and play while we talk and pretend to watch the match. So last Thursday Carlysle and I were not going to the match because it was a late one so we were going to go shopping and grab a bite to eat. On the way out of the door Carlysle was pitching a fit because she saw jelly beans on the counter and really wanted some. Of course, because I'm such a cruel and evil Mom, I told her no because we would eating dinner soon. So, we're leaving the driveway the same time as Joey. As I'm backing out this is the conversation.....

Carlysle : (a very whiney voice) "Where's Daddy?"
Me: "He's leaving the driveway too.....see his car.....he's going to tennis" .
Carlysle: (An equally whiney voice, with some cracking like she going to cry) "Awwww".
Me: "Awww, are you sad?"
Carlysle: "Yessss".......(pause)......"I really wanted some jelly beans".

I couldn't help but crack up laughing. I assumed that she was sad because we weren't going to tennis with Daddy and she usually gets very sad whenever he leaves. I thought I was going to have a sweet story to tell Joey. Turns out she was really just upset about the jelly beans.
