everyday after school the girls and i have to walk down a busy street to get to the bus. it usually consists of eva running around rampant and random strangers gasping and trying to stop this little munchkin. i, on the other hand, usually stroll along with camilla watching eva run around, and telling the strangers not to worry. the other day, eva was doing her usual run around, bumping into people on the street as she went and she spotted the corner flower seller. oh no. i know what's coming next.
"mi dai un fiore per la mia nonna, per favore?" (can you give me a flower for my grandma please?).
"eva do you have money to buy a flower? because they cost money.."
the flower man laughs and tells her to wait a minute. i try to pull her along but it's hopeless. i tell her again we can't have a flower without money. and the flower man tells ME to wait a minute. OK. i'm thinking he's going to grab a left over flower that he couldn't use anymore. he comes back with 2 dozen long stem red roses, and i immediately say there's no way we can take them, and he says "it's a gift for grandma" and smiles. i gave him 5 euro (because that's all i had), and eva took the flowers which were probably as big as her. i couldn't help but smile at her abilities to swoon at 2 years old. she'll look at you with those big blue eyes and blonde hair and you're done. all i can say is that the Pesce's are in for some trouble with this one.

i'm refraining from writing a nice comment on your blog since you stopped commenting on mine.
so there.
but it was cute ;)
i wish i had the ability to swoon a man into giving me 2 dozen long stem roses as effortlessly as eva did.
on the other hand, i have a house of six guys talk about how their farts smell like 2 dozen long stem roses.
which is better? you be the judge.
love you!
