Story Time

I have a little sister named Olivia who is 7. She is the most zesty crazy child I have ever met. Sometimes she says/does the funniest things and I can't help but laugh my face off. Like the other day... I am not sure if my story telling abilities will be able to capture the drama of the situation or if this story will even be amusing to others.

It was morning. I was sleeping soundly, until I felt a blanket being put over my head and tucked around (more like into) my face. It was Olivia, kindly covering me so she could turn the light on without waking me up. She then covered my toes and tucked in every corner of the blanket under my body. After that I was unable to fall back asleep so I dragged by lazy butt out of bed. I am not the greatest morning person around but oh my heck Olivia sure is. She went on and on as soon as I walked out of bed for about 10 minutes with out taking a breath about how she was going to take her stuffed unicorn to school for story time.

Afternoon rolled around and my mom went to go pick Livy up from boys and girls club. She walked into the house looking very sad. I asked her how her day was and she looked at me and started half crying/yelling. "Terrible! my unicorns eye fell off and I lost it" She then showed me her unicorn doll and sure enough it was missing its eye. I couldn't help but laugh, the stuffy looked so retarded with only one eye. My laughter made the situation worse and she started crying very dramatically and ran away yelling "It's not funny Felicia!!!"

Then I got an idea. It wasn't the best idea but I thought it was funny. I told Olivia its OK because I have a button that she could use for a replacement eye. She responded "NO!!! Because when you sew the button on, you will sew it in an X! Then she will have an X on her eye and she will look dead." My mom assured her that we could glue it instead of sewing X's.

I went into my room and purposely grabbed the biggest button I could find, just because sometimes I'm a jerk. I put my button on the unicorns face. Kendle and I immediately started laughing so hard. Olivia did not laugh at all. Quite the opposite. The world had just ended for her poor one eyed unicorn. Luckily my mom was there to be the adult and helped her find a more appropriate sized eye. So don't worry the unicorn how has 2 eyes.

The first picture is the regular eye and the second is the eye that I selected.
