Hi Claire
Avery spent last night with my mother. When he came home this morning, Claire immediately left with her to New York to see a Mermaid play of some sort. Avery sat down to watch TV, and then suddenly noticed Claire wasn’t there. So I took him to the window and pointed to Claire getting in the car. “Say ‘Goodbye, Claire'” I suggested. He refused.
As she got in the car Avery suddenly started calling out “Hi! Hi, Claire!”
I puzzled over that a bit and suddenly realized. “Are you saying ‘Hi’ so that Claire will stay home?”
“Uh huh. Why it not working?”
