Is she turning three or sixteen?

After being cooped up all weekend, Daddy knew he needed to get Eladia out for some fun before taking her home from daycare. So, they went to the mall to ride the carousel.

As they approached the mall, Eladia said, "I'm too big to ride the horses." Daddy disagreed; to which Eladia replied, "but, I'm growing up."

After discussing it for a while, it was resolved that Eladia may be growing old, but it is daddy who is too big to ride the horses. So, Eladia rode the carousel (to appease her father?), and then went off to make friends in the play area......

.... but not to play like the little kids. She wanted to do things that bigger girls do.

Like cruise the strip,


and fire off some texts.


After checking in with her peeps (do the kids still say "peeps"), Eladia went to the food court with Daddy for some drinks. Then she wanted to go and shop like the bigger girls....

.... to which Daddy said, "This is probably something for your mom to help you with...... in twenty seven years."

P.S. Is it wrong for Daddy to not allow Eladia to date until she turns 30?
