Frankie’s Trip to the Center
June 5, 2009 – It was D’s birthday and we planned to watch Angels and Demons at the local movie theatre. Unfortunately, my work hours ended at 3 pm which meant that if we were going to leave the kids at the Child Minding Center where Sophie was going, we would have to come back and pick them up at 5 pm. Since Frankie and D arrived at the office at 3 pm, obviously the time was not enough to watch a full feature film, especially since the movie started at 3:45 pm (thereabouts).
At any rate, since we cancelled the plan on watching the movie, D and I still had to pick up Sophie at the Center. There, Frankie was wide-eyed and alert watching the kids move around the place. You could see his obvious interest, but he held back – like an animal scoping out the new territory or something. Sophie, on the other hand, being the little showgirl that she is, ran this way and that, showing her father the things inside the Center.
After a few minutes or so, Frankie said that he wanted to go to his “Ate Pia” so I let him in.
