This is what Mgazi looks like when she realizes things aren’t going her way.

I told the girls to get their shoes, we were going to run errands. Mgazi protested immediately.

Mgazi: I don’t want to go. I want to stay home by myself, with you guys.

Me: If you are with us guys, you are not by yourself.

Mgazi: I want to stay home alone!

Me: I can’t leave you alone, hon. What if something happened while I was gone?

Mgazi: I would scream, MOMMY! (She demonstrated.)

Me: Wow. Thanks for that, Gaz. Loud as that was, I wouldn’t hear you because I wouldn’t be at home.

Mgazi: Then I would call you on the phone.

I cocked an eyebrow at her.

Mgazi: I know I know. I don’t have a phone.

Whatchya thinkin stinkin?
